Hi Friends,
Well, we are on the road home and have completed our first day on the road. I drove almost three hours and then Joe drove about 5 hours. He would never have been able to do that last week so he is definitely stronger. We stopped in Cortez tonight and went and saw Evan Almighty at the show. It was cute and funny. We will take two more days to get to Denver so we can enjoy the scenery. The drive today was beautiful and still quite warm, around 96 but it has cooled down tonight. Joe got a shot of Procrit yesterday so that should boost his Hemoglobin. Dr. Lodi thinks he should continue IPT in Chicago after about a month rest. It would only be once a week or once every two weeks. We will check into it when we get home. Since things are going in the right direction, we hate to quit but we have to talk about it. It is so good for Joe not to have to go treatment each day. Just that is a spirit lifter.
It was hard saying goodbye to our church friends in Phoenix and even harder to leave Karen after three months in her life but she will be coming in for the big family reunion in a month so that isn't so bad. That's it for now. Take care and God Bless Mary Anne
