Celebrations



On May 22nd we had a double celebration. Darrell graduated from Red Mountain High School and Ken had a birthday. He turned 51 years old. It was a bit of a crazy day, because of the weather. It was cold (in Arizona?) and rained a lot of the day. Darrell's graduation was scheduled outdoor. Because of the weather the school administrators split the graduates up. A-L in the auditorium and L-Z in the gym. We were in the gym. We only got 2 tickets per graduate. Some people were very upset. After the graduation ceremony we met back at our house for a graduation/birthday party. It worked out fine. We definitely are grateful for Darrell's graduation and for how good Ken is feeling right now, considering everything. We love each of you and feel your love concern, and support as we go through a difficult time.




Ken starts his 4th chemotherapy on Wednesday. He feels fairly well. He still says that he will be grateful when food tastes right again. The cold induced neuropathy is hanging on longer this time. It will be interesting to see if the Doctor adjust the doseage of the oxaliplatin. We will let you know how it goes.

I just took a break from work to catch up on your blog. Nice pictures. I'm glad to hear that things seem to be working out medically, although I know chemo can be very difficult. We continue to keep you in our prayers.

Congratulations Darrell.

Love, Marty, Sue, Matthew and Kelly
