Well here we are back in Little Rock. It has been very nice, cool at night and warm days. No rain or snow!

Mark started testing today. He has another day of testing tomorrow and them will meet with Dr. Nair and get his CVL on Thursday. All this is in preparation for the chemo that begins on Friday. He will have four days of the high dose chemo and his second stem cell transplant on Tuesday.

I have been staying in the apartment in hopes that I can get rid of this hanging on cold. I am sure they would frown greatly upon me at the hospital, hacking and coughing.

Mark is in good spirits and saw some of his buddies at the clinic. They are all putting their best foot forward and preparing to get the job done!

Mark’s cousin Larry is headed back to MD Anderson for a check up. We pray for them and hope for another great report.

Please continue to pray for us. The good Lord is our comfort.

Love to you all,

Karen
