Round 3 Day 4

Today has been a great day!  Mostly because the count down is on.  We officially finished his last round of chemo today.  It's been like a party here today with so many visitors.  I loved it! I think it really helped lift Steve's spirits as well.  He was still battling fevers most the day and was pretty sick but knowing we get to go home tomorrow and that we made it through all three rounds is awesome!  He started a treatment on Monday that lasts 96 hours so that will be done around 12:00 tomorrow and he has to get one more interferon shot tomorrow then we get to go home.  We have even started counting down on how many shots he has left till we are completely done.  It feels like he has finished a major milestone and it has been a major accomplishment to get through this treatment.  After we get home he will have 3 more shots of interferon then he has scans scheduled in July and hopefully everything is clear and we can start our summer vacation.  We are so excited to get back to normal living.  Cancer has taken enough from us for now, we are ready to take our life back.  Once again, I find it hard to find the words to express our gratitude for all the help and support we have received since all this started.  This week especially this week.  So many people have stepped in to help us get everyone to so may different places.  When my family offered to help us they probably had no idea what they had signed up for.  This week alone we had basketball camp, basketball tournament, soccer tournament, cub scout day camp and of course they all had their regular practices all week as well.  There is no way we could have done any of this with out all the help we have received.  We have always been taught to serve others.  It hasn't been until we have been on the other side of service that I have learned the meaning of service in a much deeper way.  I am always so thankful for the Lord taking the time to teach us these lessons.

I thought this was cute.  Steve brought this little car and put it in his bathroom to remind him of McKay while he was here.  Nothing says McKay like a little hot wheel.  Something to put a smile on his face.
