Good Morning

Hey everyone, this is Colin. I thought I should come update the blog after talking with Dr Peters this morning. I asked for my cell counts just because I like to know where I am at everyday. She told me the regulars and then about an LDH cell. She called it a 'Marker' cell that tells them how fast the cancer cells are multiplying. Never heard of this one before so she went right back to when I came into the hospital. My LDH cells were over 2000 when I came in last Friday. This morning, Thursday, one week later, I am at 660. She even figures I will be down to a normal persons level by the end of next week. So that's good news. Dr Peters also said they are really happy with how I am responding to the treatments. So that's my medical news for the day.

Lastnight I had a few guests show up, a couple expected and a couple passing through to some holidays. You know all day I felt tired and run down from Chemo and slept until about 3 pm. Once Melissa showed up and then the visitors, I had a wonderful night! Sometimes all you need is to see a best friend to make you smile. Praise Jesus for the people who surround us and for family, but today especially for best friends.

Sorry this is so short but I need to study. I am writing my final exam for police recruiting tonight. Please pray I do well and for strength to get through.

God Bless,

Colin
