We leave on Monday to go back to San Antonio and we'll be there all week. Jeff has to get some routine tests to make sure he is healthy enough to start the trial. He will start taking the medicine on Thursday and we'll be home on Friday. He's ready to go!
The San Antonio Rodeo/Stockshow starts this weekend so all the hotels on the Riverwalk were booked. Luckily we found one near the hospital. I did like staying downtown though - it's so pretty down there. Oh well, I guess we're lucky to have a room!
A week from Monday the kids and I leave (ironically) to show our lambs at the San Antonio stockshow. That's 3 Monday's in a row for me to go to San Antonio. We are hauling our animals with some good friends so I won't be doing it on my own. Jeff will be staying home to feed our Houston lambs and enjoy some peace and quiet. I'm praying I have enough energy to do all of this. Thank goodness Luke is old enough to drive.
We are still waiting to hear from our Houston Dr. We've been calling her for two weeks as of today. It's been frustrating so I called our patient advocate today and "tattled" on her. I don't know if that will solve anything but maybe it will get her to call us back. We are satisfied with starting this trial but would still like her opinion. She in a melanoma oncologist and only sees melanoma patients. She is one of the only dr's to even treat a patient with Jeff's kind of cancer - it's so rare. Technically she should have the knowledge of the latest treatments. Of course we want to know what she thinks.
My Mom and Daddy are keeping the kids again while we are gone. I don't know what we would do without them. We continue to count our blessings. We got rain last night. My sister and my friend Tracey came to visit me today. We are looking forward to dinner with friends tomorrow night. We are getting through one day at a time. We'll let you know how it goes next week.
Love,
Jeff and Leta
