an adventure out west

As I type we are on our way to San Antonio to The Alamo. We went early this morning for blood work and Dave doesn't have any other appointments until Wednesday. We are studying American History this year, so this will be a great field trip.

Dave had a bad skin reaction on his hands and face to the chemo, so they started him on a steroid. It has helped the itching but it still looks pretty red. It looks like a bad sunburn. He is feeling really good right now. We were able to go on a date Saturday night for Valentines Day. We went downtown and had a nice dinner, walked around for a bit and then had coffee at a little coffee shop. It was a really nice night out.

Dave starts his 6th round of chemo on Thursday. Depending on what the scan shows on the 28th, this could be the last of the chemotherapy for now at least. If there is any change in the tumor (meaning is has shrunk) he will continue with the chemotherapy. If there is no change or it has grown, he will begin radiation.

The kids have been attending AWANA at Bethel Church on Sunday nights. They love it. They are memorizing alot of verses. They all got their books last night and Samuel got his vest. He was so excited....who would have thought a red vest could excite that boy so much.

I'll post lots of pictures of our Western Adventure later!
