Short update

Well, we were able to make it up north this weekend to spend some time at a cottage with friends! (Yeah! Thanks guys!)

Dave was feeling well on Friday and Saturday, and slept well the first night. Saturday was cold but still a beautiful day for skiing. (Dave wanted to ski, but thought that it probably wasn't a good idea. He gets cold very quickly, and tires easily - both from the chemo.) Saturday afternoon Dave started to feel a little off, and then just didn't feel great the rest of the weekend. Unfortunately the chemo can just knock him down sometimes. It was still a good time with friends and he was glad to be there, even when he wasn't feeling as well. It was good to get away, but I know he wishes that he could have been out skiing or even just be able to spend more time outside.

We know that some days he'll feel well and some days he won't. (We just prefer the good days is all!)
We're hoping tomorrow's a better day. Thanks for your prayers!

(I know it's short today. Just thought we'd let you know we were able to make it away for the weekend.)

Hi Val, I have finally been taught how to respond to the blogs. I am so computer illiterate. Think of you often and am so thankful for the updates. The staff at Clarke Road read them religiously and we always comment on them. It is SOOOOO amazing for you to do this along with all the research you are doing for Dave. I hope the trip to the States is uplifting. Wanted you to know that you are also in our thoughts and prayers. Safe journey. KJ
