July 12-29: Almost there!

Ron continues to recover from his last round of chemo which was July 6-11. He almost made it through all 3 consolidation chemo rounds without a fever. Almost. We were back to U of M for 2 days last week when he spiked a fever during the time his white blood cell count was extremely low. It was a midnight ride in an ambulance, and after IV antibiotics and fluids for two days, he is doing very well again.
Today was the last post-chemo blood test in Coldwater, and although he is still anemic, his counts are high enough for his bone marrow biopsy in Ann Arbor on Monday. He should be getting more energy back each day, and we are in high spirits.
We can't believe that it is almost August! We are sending good wishes and warm thoughts to all of you.
Love, Ron and Jan
