Monday January 4th

Today was a good day for Dave. He went to school for awhile to get things organized in his room. He is looking forward to coming back at least on a part time basis..he misses everyone at MSMS!!
Curt got here safely and it was great to see him walk thru the door!! He will be here for most of the week. We will gladly share him with his sister Karen....Our hope is that we can all get together this week sometime..it has been a long time ,and all of the Pickerts are special to us.
We went to the Dr. this afternoon and he went through the test results with us.....(the same results that Dr. Doolittle went over in KC), but it was good to hear it from another source. The IL-2 treatments seem to be keeping the cancer at bay for now. The next 2 rounds will be very telling. We will know that the treatments were a success if Dave's energy and appetite increase, and by his overall pain level. I feel cautiously optimistic about the last 2 rounds because it seems that his nausea is better and he has a few more good days than before.
Dave continues to be a source of strength for me .....he has yet to complain, he worries more about me than he does about himself.....
Blessings to all....keep praying.......
