Short and sweet

That was how the visit to the doctor's office was today. He said all is going as planned and scheduled round 4 (and most likely the last) of chemo for next week starting on Monday September 11. She will have a CT Scan about a week after the chemo ends (which will be Thursday of next week if all goes well). It is then that we will know how successful the full treatment of chemotherapy has been. All we can do is hope that all goes well this next week. One day, one round at a time.

I spent some time with her today after the appointment. We went out to lunch, drove aimlessly around town, just goofed off in general. It was nice. I am so thankful that she has the energy and desire to be out and about and enjoying life. I am cherishing any time that we have together where she is feeling, ironically enough, "better than she has in years." It is very strange that we are experiencing some of our best times together in the past five years during a period when one would expect her to be at her lowest levels of energy and spirit. Whatever it is that is getting her through this with a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye, I will take it.

I would like to throw a shoutout to Paul and Paula. It was great to see you over the holiday weekend. Sorry it wasn't for a longer duration. Jenny and I hope you enjoyed your time here.

Hope everyone's Labor Day weekend was a great one. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers along this journey.
