Day 167

Hello,

Just a quick update - Rita has finished her chemo for this week. Naturally, it will take a few days (7 to 10) before the effects of the chemos manifests themselves and we see how she responds to the treatment. We are hoping that her body clears the MTX is short order so that we can go back to the hotel for good food and good sleep. We will know more tomorrow.

Rita is feeling pretty good so far. I have noticed some slight changes in her eyes and she has been a little tired. Also, she has been just a little wobbley when we walk but her endurance is good. We will be walking again soon so I'll see how she is doing. We are happy to be on 5 West with all the familiar faces. Everyone here is so happy to see how good Rita is doing. These people have seen it all so we are encouraged by their optimisim.

So, for tonight, all is well. We are settling in for a little tv, conversation and hopefully, a few hours of uninterruprted sleep. Goodnight for now and keep the faith. We promise that we will.

Love, Dave & Rita.
