O Summer Where for Art Thou?

Treatment continues....

We went to the clinic on Friday for Carson's third round of chemo. Unlike the last two phases, Carson continues treatment for most of the phase regardless of his counts. His ANC was 50 and his hemoglobin was on the low side, but we had chemo anyway. I anticipated that this time, we might see greater side effects, but so far it is the same. He is REALLY tired - which could be the chemo or the low hemoglobin. We will find out tomorrow when we head back to the clinic for a "counts check". I wouldn't be surprised if he needs to be topped off with some red blood.

In the meantime, we continue to dig out from our 28 inch "snowmageddon".

In addition to the clearing the sidewalk and driveway, with this storm we had to shovel the roof over the balcony.

Paul's lower back was quick to point out that it was a heavy snow. Yet with mountains of snow to move, he shoveled on.

My "little" ride sees the light of day...thanks to a heavy dose of Advil for Paul.

Of course the snow can be fun, too. How often can you travel to the store on a sled? How cool is that??

With the road to themselves, Carson and Nils enjoy a spin on the sled.

I think it's important that we focus on the fun that the snow brings. (I also think it's important that Paul keep the heating pad on his back!)
