Last week our family had a reunion on my mom's side. My parents were in charge and we decided to try a lodging in Loa. There was a variety of things everyone could do: Capital Reef, Parkers, Fish Lake, Boulder Mountains, etc. We all had a fun time. It was from Thursday to Sunday. Dad couldn't come down until late Friday evening because he had to get platelets before coming. Here is a family picture we did with almost everyone that came.
One of our cousin, Angela, had a great idea to make a scrapbook for dad. Each person did a page that is decorated, has an individual picture, and some sort of message to dad. This is to be a book he can look at often and hopefully help uplift him whenever he needs.

Here is the group of us right after we gave him the book. He was overwhelmed with emotion. He loved every page from the youngest,which consisted of scribbles, to the adults who gave great memories and encouragements.
After his last treatment, it is taking longer to bounce back. His blood work just isn't building on it's own like it did in round 3. Since it is taking longer the doctor said it will be another one to two weeks before his goes in for round 5. He will have another bone marrow biopsy before round 5 to see if the chemo is working. So please KEEP PRAYING. We are grateful for everyone who has helped in so many ways, it's nice to know we have a huge support system.
