Day 4 cont...

Today has been a very long day! Ok all the days in this hospital are long! Here is Ron before his dose #5.  He said to me, "no one wants to see me looking this bad."  I said you don't look bad and everyone wants to see you thats why I'm posting this picture:) I think he looks adorable! Love the no shave look!

Dose 5 knocked him out hard! He did his dance and then danced some more.  Now his temp. is up again and so they have him with ice packs on him again.  Poor guy this has been a rough one!

On the plus side look who came to visit:)

I'm not sure who was more happy to see who Ron to see Rocky or Rocky to see Ron, either way it was great and I think it was good for Ron to feel that love from Rocky.  We have some great friends taking care of him for us! And he loves them too which is so great! 
We also had some good visits today we are so very blessed to be surrounded by so many great people!!!! 

One other fun thing that was brought to Ron today! The jar is full of Riesen candy, and Reasons for Ron to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT he loved it and it has been so nice to read the wonderful and kind words from so people that love Ron, and that we LOVE! Thank You all so much!!!!
I also have to give a shout out to our dear friend Pres. Martin he's been in Russia this week and sent his love to Ron.  Ron said to make sure to ask Doug to say a Russian prayer for him.  I don't know if Doug knows any Russian prayers but I'm sure he will come up with something:) 

It is now 7:30 pm Ron is laying in his bed sleeping again, and covered in ice packs and cold cloths because, yep his fever is back.   He did manage to go on 2 walks today.  A bit less than yesterday and only a total of 5 laps around the floor, but we will take any that we can get!  The day is about over, we are waiting for lab results to come back, but my guess would be that he is done.  However I have been wrong before! So we shall see.

Thank you so much for all the kind visits, FOOD, treats but mostly the LOVE.  It is so very much appreciated!  We couldn't do this one alone and we know that we are not! The Lord has blessed us with  the most wonderful people around us, and we truly feel his love through each one of you!!! Please continue to pray for us we need it!  Ron will continue to Fight he is amazing!!!
