Day 5

It's already day 5 and Josh still isn't back to his "normal" self. He's not sleeping very well and is struggling a bit longer with the chemo-head this time. But despite this, he's continuing to push himself physically.

• On Saturday, he helped Ethan with a project for Science (create an aluminum can crusher out of limited supplies that crushes speedily) by routing grooves:
  
  
  

• On Sunday, he made it through church, although several times when I looked over, he had his eyes closed.
• Yesterday he took the kids to their school awards ceremony while I was out of town for work. Both he and kids said that it was actually a case of enduring the ceremony that recognized individually many hundreds of kids in 6th through 8th grade.
• He's worked out at the gym for a couple of the days and has diligently taken walks around the block (including one at 4am when he couldn't go back to sleep).
• He's eating good meals.
  

Keep plugging away, Josh, and remember that you're nearly halfway done with the 6 chemo treatments. It will all be worth it!
