Back to Texas August 23, 2009

After a total of 10 Chemo treatments, it's time to head back to MD Anderson in Houston, TX for another checkup. That means we drive down on Sunday, have a CT scan on Monday, August 24, and a visit with Dr. Abbruzzese on August 25. Then we'll drive home Tuesday afternoon/evening. Since I still seem to be dealing with a lot of fatigue, I am hoping we might be able to change my treatment somewhat to reduce the fatigue. I don't know what that means, but I have gotten hints from the doctors that my treatments might be modified. I guess we'll know in a couple days.

Thanks to all who continue to pray for me. I am convinced we will get more good news. Special Thanks to SallyAnn for the candle and prayer at St. Elizabeth's.

We haven't kept up on the blog, but there have been some things going on with the Grays. We celebrated my mother's 90th birthday last weekend (Aug 15-16) with a Gray family reunion. There should be more about that in a separate blog. We also welcomed a new member into Vicki's side of the family. More about her later, also.



First things first. I have to fill out my lunch order before Chemo starts.

    Hey Joe,

    Hope you're doing well! My wife, Rachel, and I are praying for you, and we'll definitely keep you guys in mind while you're in Texas over the next couple of days.

    We just moved to Colorado Springs so that I can go to school for a year out here. We had fun getting to see Ben & SallyAnn before we took off. We'll miss everyone in KC, but we're excited for the next year.

    Well, we hope things go well. We'll be lifting all of this up to God ... He loves you with all of His heart! And hopefully, with any luck, Coach Snyder will give us all something to thank God for real soon too :)

    Take care!
    Brandon & Rachel Eck
