I'm home after a week in Belgium, and this is Beau's first scheduled rest week in the 19 week "CHOP" program. No chemo for the week, but he did have to get a blood test this morning. All went well, including taking the blood sample from his jugular, since his oncologist asked for "first dibs" on the veins in his legs. But, he was very brave and didn't even flinch.

Tomorrow is one of Beau's favorite days as well. I'll be cooking them another batch of their organic diet. Once the crockpot has warmed up, the whole house smells like chicken. He'll be spending a good amount of the afternoon hanging around the "altar of the crockpot" and taking in the smells.

Then he'll get to spend a couple days at the beach, so it will indeed be a fun rest week for him.

Cheers,

Ken
