MARCH 11

Gary received his high dose of Methotrexate today. He is doing well. In fact, the doctors said his kidneys were doing better than the day he was admitted. Tomorrow morning, they will administer the rescue drug and then we start the count down to when he will be able to leave the hospital. At times, it is worse for him when he is feeling good ... to have to be in the hospital ... so pray for him to be patient. *smile*

I wanted to share something our 7 yr. old granddaughter said to Gary yesterday. Gary was talking with each of the kids and when it was Brianna's turn, he asked her "How's life?" She said, "Good. VERY good." Gary asked "What makes it so good?" Brianna replied, "I'm not dying!" Gary and I laughed so hard!

Becky asked Brianna what Papaw had asked, for her to say what she said. Becky exclaimed "ANNA!" Brianna said, "WHAT? I made him laugh." Gary has laughed about it since. We are really looking forward to spending time with them next week.

Thank you for your prayers and again for all the Birthday greetings. Gary has really enjoyed showing off the cards to the doctors and nurses.
