Friday Day 4 of 2A

So Dose #5 was given this morning bright and early! 8:30 am and right on schedule 2 afters after his dose was finished the riggers began.  Our good friend Pres. Martin came by and was here to help as Ron did his shaking.  Its hard to watch, but means so much to me that he has so many people who love and are supporting Ron. It lasted almost 45 min! Another good sign.  Now he has a fever of 102 so we are working to get that down.  All part of the IL2.

I have been able to go around and meet some of the other IL2 patients, this week and they are some amazing people! Its really nice to be able to hear other people going through the same thing and the courage that they have! This is a fight but one that we can win!

As Ron was riggering today he thought he heard something and said, "is that my little buddy?" I asked him who he was referring to and he said, "Rocky" (who is our dog).  Ron loves that cute little guy. He actually lets him sleep on his pillow with him at home. So cute! I'm so thankful that we have such good friends who are so kind and have taken Rocky into their home to care for him while we are gone! (Jennifer!) It really takes a load off our minds.

Well we are moving forward! I don't know if he will get another dose today or not.  It all depends on a lot of factors, his weight, kidney function, and lots more, so we shall have to see.  Either way I'm very positive about so far.  He has gotten in 5 doses and that is great! if he gets one more we will take it.  But  we have been told many times its not about the number its about the reaction and Ron has not let us down on that yet!  More later.
