Next Round Next Wednesday

Well, Karl starts another round next Wednesday. He has to have a stress test on his heart as a base line just in case he suffers any cardio damage. This time they will not be doing 14 rounds. Possibly 8-11 depending on how Karl is holding up. The plus side to this is Karl is feeling better so he can have a wonderful weekend with Anika and I before he has to "get sick" again. And there is a new ICU at Presby Plano so we can't wait to see it. He also lost 14 pounds in the two weeks he was in treatment. SOOO I am desperately trying to get that weight back on him in a healthy way so he won't be worse off after the next round. No scans yet, possibly in November before his third treatment.
Anika overheard us talking about the hospital and we had to fess up that daddy was going back in again. She got quiet and had a very sad and worried faced. When we asked her what was wrong she said she was afraid that Daddy would not come home- i.e. back to the death word. We explained to her that he was just going to get medicine to get rid of the Cancer and to feel better. She asked if she could visit and we said of course, she seemed better about it.
