It seems that I simply cannot keep up with replying to emails I get inquiring about how Rich is doing these days. Thank you so much for continuing to bombard me with these reminders that there are many people out there who care about us!! It truly brightens my day when I receive one of these sweet emails. 
Overall, Rich is doing well. He will have his fourth round of chemotherapy this coming Wednesday, which will mark the halfway point (not including radiation)!! We are very excited about that. He continues to tolerate treatment fairly well; some days are better than others. He is just very tired and has an upset stomach for a while after. He also experiences some very uncomfortable “bone pain” after getting injections to boost his white blood cell count (and even scarier, I am the one giving him these injections!!!) But, we know that the pain means the injection is working. He usually starts feeling like his old self a few days before his next treatment, and then he starts the cycle all over again…. However, in spite of the fatigue, upset tummy, and pain, his health seems to be holding up. We are avoiding as many germs as possible and simply enjoying all of this time that we have together!
Thank you for your continued prayers. We feel so blessed to have all of you storming heaven on Rich’s behalf.
Because I don’t want to post without including a picture, here is a cool one of Rich on our wedding day, thanks to HinkleyPhoto.
