Chemo Cycle Five
It's been a while since we've returned home from CHEO for chemo cycle 5 (we returned home on July 23rd). Curtis has tolerated this cycle quite well compared to cycle 3 when he had the same types of chemo drugs and had a difficult time with side effects. We're still home and thankfully no sign of neutrapenic fever. Curtis is eating well again and gaining back the weight he lost during the first few days following the chemo. He's been enjoying his time playing around the house and spending time with gran and grampy. This past weekend we also had a really nice visit with Uncle Gary and Aunt Sandy from Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Just read in the Adverister today about your little guy's medical problem. You grew up with our sons Neil & Jason. Neil is married and living on the South Shore with his wife and son Ben who is 6. Jason is married and living in Halifax with his wife. No children as yet. Our hearts go out to you and your family as you are coping with your son's condition. We just wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and we will be checking in to see how he is doing.

We were over at mom and dads last night and had a chance to check out the site. Mackenzie is so cute and we can't believe how big she is now. We're glad that Curtis is making it through this round of chemo all right and is feeling a bit better. Alex was with us while we were going through the site and of course had all kinds of questions. We just wanted to say hi and let you know we are thinking about you. Hope everything is going well, and I am sure we will get updates from Mom as she gets them. Take care, JH&A
