We had a wonderful Easter dinner today at Steve and Julie's. Steve cooks the best barbecue ribs ever! It was nice to just relax and watch the Grandchildren play. We also celebrated Annie's birthday, a few days late. She turned 4 on the 8th of April. We ended the afternoon by watching Brayden and 
Annie hunt for Easter eggs.It is a blessing that the kids live so close. They have been such a support for both Marc and I during Marc's illness. We couldn't have managed without them.
The chemo is hitting Marc pretty hard. He just gets to feeling good and then it is time to start the chemo back up. He tires easily and feels very weak. He gets tired of sitting so gets up and starts a new project. He has too much time to think! Last week he purchased some Italian cypress trees to plant on the East side of the driveway. Friday after I left for work he started planting. He said it took him 6 hours to plan 1 tree. He said he would dig for 10 minutes and rest for 30. Fortunately Steve and Brayden came by and helped out by planting the other 7. Marc still wants to replace the windows in the house and replace the siding but I think those projects will be on hold, at least for a while anyway.
Marc has another MRI on May 22 and will follow-up at MD Anderson on the 26th. We are praying for more good news.We would like to wish you all a very Blessed Easter and continue to ask for your prayers for Marc's full recovery.
