Happy Birthday, Josh!

Josh, in the midst of the recovery period after his last chemo round, celebrated his 39th birthday today. Not exactly the way he would have prefered to celebrate, but it is what it is. The celebration is delayed until this weekend when my folks are here, Kate is back from Houston and hopefully some portion of Josh's family is here as well. And then we'll probably celebrate again in Houston when Josh goes down on August 5th for scans. We have to make up for the delay in celebration, of course.

Josh started this morning with a walk twice around the block and finished the evening with a single lap right before bed. His strength is slowly coming back, but his head is still a bit fuzzy and he's grouchy (typical to the other rounds). He did take Ethan to the dollar movie (well, 75 cent Tuesday) this afternoon, but that was really the extent of the fun.

Josh, may all your many upcoming birthdays find you healthy, wealthy and wise!

  2. You guys hang in there. It would be great to see Josh when you all make it to Houston in August. I will post my phone number when it gets closer. Josh and I played ball at KF we even stood next to each other during the team picture. God bless.
