This morning Troy returned a phone call to Karen, the nurse at his oncologist's office and she delivered some promising news. She said the testing that had been done on Troy's tumor for the EB virus (Epstein Barr) came back negative. This is good news because the presence of that virus tends to make the spreading of the cancer multiplied. Troy has been sore and nauseous all day, but is getting around slowly and will hopefully feel better tomorrow before his PET scan in the afternoon. We'll let you know how it goes.
Derek had a great 1st week of school. He really seems to love it and got all green stamps on his calendar (the yellow and red stamps are not good). If his clothespin gets moved on the stop light from the green light this means he didn't have a good day and misbehaved. It's still real early in the school year!
His preschool really packs a lot in for the 12 hours he is there for the week and he should be ready for Kindergarten before we know it.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Brooks family as they engage with this battle.
The Brooks family is exactly that to me, members of the ever expanding close knit group of friends that treat me as though I am family.
I look forward to checking in time and time again during your fight to hear the progress that I know Troy will make in his battle.
You are tough, and you come from tough stock. Keep your chin up and a smile on your face. Keep your beautiful children, wife, family and friends in your thoughts, and I am confident that you will endure.

Keep your chin up for 10 more days and I will be there! Until then, know that Dad and I are thinking of you all of the time. We love and miss you. Mom and Dad
