Annihilating Leukemia

Ray was admitted to BSA around 11:00 this morning. He sure did NOT want to go. He kept saying, "I feel so good today. My hair is starting to grow. I even had to shave this morning. Are we sure we need to do this?" The Dr.'s words to him was that we have to keep "annihilating this leukemia." So after blood tests, chest x-rays and other procedures, the annihilation began around 5:00 this evening. When I left his room around 8:30 tonight, he was doing exercises!! He's determined to stay strong this time. I just shook my head and left.

We found out today Daniel has strep throat. He started feeling bad yesterday. He quickly went from bad to worse. Ordinarily, I don't take my kids to the Dr. so quickly (I'd rather play Dr. myself and do my own diagnosis and treatment and later end up regretting not going to the Dr. sooner) but this time I didn't want to take any chances. I was worried Mary, Ray or I might catch something. I'm sure hoping we don't get that! He can go back to school Wed.

More later.
Love you all,
Kim

Believe it or not it is better to get exercise...Ray is being pretty smart. It is amazing how much muscle mass is lost from not moving. Keep it up!
