4th time's a charm

The last inpt chemo was by far the best experience we've had. It's not that Adam left running and skipping but he was able to get out in the early afternoon on Saturday and though he did throw up once, just as he was being discharged, he seemed not to be as depleted as he had been after earlier stays. I am not sure why this is but I can say that the 3 or 4 days prior to this inpt stay were some of the best for Adam since he started chemo (despite the fact that his white blood count was down so much during that same period of time).

It appears that our plans for Adam this week are going to work out. We leave tomorrow for L.A. and then we will rent a convertible and drive down to San Diego. Should be a nice drive. We are going to Sea World on Wednesday and Lego Land on Thursday. Should be a blast all around and Adam is very excited about his first trip to California. To be able to do this we had to schedule an MRI yesterday and a CT scan this morning. This timing was sort of weird so we went ahead and told Adam about the secret trip. Next week he is away for camp. His schedule is about as full as it can be.

Camille is in her second week staying with Jared, Heather, Kira and Scott in Alpharetta. It has been great for Adam and Camille to have time apart and we are very grateful to Jared and Heather for 'hosting' Camille during this time. We are going to retrieve Camille this Saturday. I hope by then that Camille and Adam will be happy to see each other for a little while before he is away at camp.

By the way, for those keeping up, the license plate count is at 29. We have some of the harder states to get already. I will get a picture up soon. We also got a lovely offer from Bob P. in Alaska to come and stay at his guest house. We are seriously considering this. Adam thinks that would be very cool. We continue to be shown so much love and support, it is overwhelming at times. Heather and Patrick brought some delicious food (sauce piquant) on Saturday. Not having to worry about dinner all the time has been a real relief. My cousins and in laws, Carson, Celia, Celia and Ward II, Ward III, Alisa, Kari, Jeannette, Eddie, Mary, Cathy and all the kin folk who I am forgetting, have really come through with heartfelt words and encouragement. Thank you, thank you.
