good times

It's great when things come together. After having our friend Patrick the chef make a mess of jambalaya, salad and a great cheese plate, buying wine and beer, down loading a lot of summer tunes, and inviting all my staff from work, 'Ed's super fantastic summer time suare' couldn't have gone better. It was my way of saying thank you to all the folks who work so hard for the patients and the families who need help at the hospital where we all work. I think people had a very good time, enjoyed the food and the company. The weather cooperated. The blazing hot day settled into a slightly breezy, shadowy early evening. Good times.

Everyone was also happy to see Adam. Adam was on his best, polite behavior, meeting people at the door and directing them to the back yard. Camille was a hit as well. She had her biggest audience to date; dancing, singing and shooing away flies.

Adam goes back to the cancer clinic tomorrow to have his white blood count done to see if chemo can resume. His second week of radiation begins as well. He also met with Dr. Mawn, the eye specialist who did the surgery in March, to see how his eye was holding up to radiation. So far, so good. She advised that we consider putting Adam on zinc and a multivitamin. Supposedly zinc helps chemo patients maintain an appetite and as far as multivitamin is concerned Adam could definitely use it as he has never had the best eating habits.
