Sept. 23 (Tuesday) Well, we have been here 3 weeks today. There have been a lot of ups and downs but it looks like Joel is on the upward move. He feels better today and actually walked 5 laps of the entire hall today. He ate a good sized lunch and is regaining his strength slowly. He has not received platelets in 2 days or blood in several days. That means that he is on the mend. We will not know whether the chemo killed all the cancer cells for another 2 weeks or so. They need to wait until his bone marrow starts producing more cells before they can test it. But, we are hopeful, through God's grace, that the bad cells are gone and only good ones are rebuilding. His hair is about 2/3 gone. He sends his love and appreciation to everyone.
