Update 7/9/09

Apologies for the break since my last update. This is because Tim was
only able to resume chemotherapy last Tuesday as his blood counts have
been taking much longer to recover after chemo. Since my last update
Tim has had two blood transfusions and also a potassium infusion as
blood tests revealed a deficiency in this area. A potassium tablet
has been added to list of daily medications and so has prednisolone,
which is the drug that gives him a puffy face and an enormous
appetite.

Tim enjoyed his Fathers Day, the boys and I spoiled him with lots of
presents, kisses and cuddles. It was great that he felt well enough
to enjoy the day and some precious family time.

Looking ahead, Tim has chemo on Tuesday this week and then next week
begins daily IV chemo for 5 days straight and a lumbar puncture. A
break is scheduled after this to allow his body to recover.

Hope you enjoy the photos of Joshua's Fathers Day creations!

Love Andi
