Another very good day. It seems we are always waiting for the something else to go wrong so we get suspicious when everything is progressing right along.  Thanks to all of you who have kept us in your thoughts and prayers it really means so much and I will be thanking you all for graciousness for as long as I live.  More hope Every day!

Monday

Everyday is better than the next.  No night sweats last night and only 3 total pain meds today.  We even got a game of pitch in which I won.  He is walking and joking more without pain.  I think we are all in shock a bit and disbelief as it has been a rough month and a half.  He deserves to have some good days.  Through the power of prayer and the support of all of you we are going to kick the heck out of this disease.  I would like you all to continue to pray for John however don't let us forget all of the others struggling with this monster.  Fight like hell!!!!

Today was the best day.  John was able to make it out to on of the boys games and while nervous about going he was so happy he went.  He loved seeing all of the boys and parents.  He said that it made him very happy.  Thank you to all of you for making him feel so normal.  Hoping for more good days!

Saturday

John is currently playing video poker.  This is day 2 on the meds and many aches and pains are gone and he has been resting the one major side effect has been dry mouth from the radiation.  Once again we have been overwhelmed by the communty as they held a fundraiser today and our family members said it was amazing.   will post pictures on the blog and soon as someone gets me some.  I have been reading up of course on how quickly we might see results from the zelboraf drug and most say about two days.  He is up went outside and hopefully will make it to the boys game for awhile tomorrow.  I am going to try and organize a race at some point called outrun the sun so will be looking for volunteers.  We as a family have a new cause and will commit to it 100% until they find a cure!!!!! 

TGIF

Today we received the Zelboraf and john took his first dose.  We are excited to see if he begins to feel better quickley.  Thank you for all your blessings things are moving now and hopefully we are on the healing path.  John has been lighter hearted and joking more.  I don't want him to be afraid anymore and I want him to feel good again.

Yeah!!!!John slept all night and is still sleeping today.  I think the steroids being reduced have made a difference.  I spoke with the Medical company this morning we will have the Drug in our hands tomorrow morning before 10:00 am.  Thank God!  I am hoping this will bring John some long awaited comfort.  I am going to try and get back to work in the next two weeks as I do not want to lose all of my days in case something else comes up.  This is a great day so far!
