Matthew has been home for the last couple of weeks which has been great. Today, he is back at Children's Memorial for his third round of chemotherapy. This round lasts only 5 days but the dosage is supposed to be much more intense than previously experienced. His counts are up where they should be and he had a bone marrow biopsy this morning. We should have the results of that over the next couple of days.

Dear Gene and Nicole,
This must be mighty hard on the little guy (and the rest of the family, too)! We continue to pray for Matthew's endurance through his chemo and look forward to seeing his bright smile when it's over.
God bless and keep you all.
Peg and Michael
