Grazie Pat!!
It was a holiday, not a trip. Only a week, but we enjoyed to feel oureselves in Orient country.
Please tell me about Larry's health, we think to you so often!
A kiss!

He still has three more cycles of cheomtherapy; to be completed in mid-April. His blood picture is beginning to show some improvement; however, he has never felt as bad as the doctors seem to think he should feel. He's also done well at avoiding infection. We don't go out in public much but he's still busy with little projects around the house like hanging screen doors, and a rack for his fishing rods.

We don't know what will happen after this chemo cycle. There has been talk of a bone marrow transplant but we'll just have to see what happens.

We're having a surprisingly good time hanging out together, listening to music, playing with pictures and sharing lots of hugs.

I feel a bit guilty about dumping all my parents' care on my sister and their two caregivers. I still manage their money on-line, but I simply can't bring myself to leave Larry for more that a hour or two.

Thanks for your concern and I'm enjoying your trip.
SAG, Pat
