Let's try this again

So hopefully today Eric will have chemo, we should know by about 11:00 if his blood work is in the "safe zone". I'll let you know. He's been feeling well lately, getting engaged can do that to you :0)

Pardon the interruption

Today is Veteran's Day, we would like to thank the Veteran's that have served and are serving our country. We (Eric, Hailey, & I) have a cousin Jason who is serving his third term in Iraq, we want him & his family to know we think of him often, our prayers are always with him. We are forever indebted to you. Thank you for protecting us.

May I have your attention please...

This left hand belongs to my beautiful sister-in-law to be!! That's right folks Eric & Lauren are engaged!!! He had planned to ask her next weekend but when he couldn't do chemo last week he changed his plans & they went to Park City, he proposed on the balcony of Stein Eriksen Lodge at sunset. They have not set a date, she wants to finish school, but they are very excited!! So are we!! Congratulations Eric & Lauren!!!

Distraught

That is the only word I can think of to describe how Eric's feeling right now. Eric will not be receiving chemotherapy today, his white blood cell count isn't in the "safe zone". It has to be at a certain level before you can have the treatments. He is upset, I know he feels like he just wants to get these treatments done. He also has to do the Nupagin shots now for all of his treatments. He is not fearing the shots as much as before, he now knows the chemo was the culprit for most of those side effects that plagued him. Let's help him through this, we love you Eric!

Update

Eric continues to feel great, yesterday he went to help set up my mom's booth at our craft boutique (St. James Catholic Church email me if you want the details), he also went to a movie with a friend. Tomorrow though is chemo, his appointment with the clinic is around 9:00 and chemo starts around 11:00. Eric says he can barely feel the lymph node in his neck, woohoo!!

Great day!

I just wanted to let you all know Eric's feeling great hooray!! He is running some errands as I type, it's good to hear that he's out & about again!! Not to be Debbie downer, but chemo again on Thursday, so these next few days should be good ones.

I'm still here

Sorry there hasn't been an update, things around here (my house) are crazy! Eric's feeling okay, still not great though, this chemo treatment seems to have had more of an effect on him than the previous one. He has another treatment next Thursday a total of 6 more to go. His niece & nephews gave him a stuffed pig for his treatments, they appropriately named him bacon. So if you see Eric with a pink pig you'll know why. He's ventured out a little bit the past few days, but not far. We're hoping the days left before treatment will be good ones for him...
