Still hanging in there

Hello All!

Brian is still hanging in there today! The oncologist said today how impressed he was with how Brian was doing. Brian walks 2-3 miles a day (laps around the floor), yesterday he made me count ceiling tiles so that he could calculate the distance. Brian continues to be in very high spirits. The nurses think he is a breath of fresh air to the floor (they sneak him doughnuts while he walks @ 6am). He began to lose his appetite last night no upset stomach though. He did start to lose his hair but he still trying to grow it.

Brian has had many visitors the past few days, which he LOVES, so keep coming. The mornings are rough for Brian because I'm in school and his friends are at work. He has however made many friends with receptionist in the PT department which he walks by numerous times a day.

We continue to ask for prayers for Brian as he keeps on fighting. Also, we ask for Prayers for his mom who is beginning her fight against breast cancer on Thursday. We love you Angie you are in our prayers!

P.s. Brian has one more chemo bag left then one other drug to finish up this round. Hopefully, his counts stay up so he won't have to have a transfusion. He will be on a 21 day cycle and will be in the hospital every time.

  2. Brian -

    The Squires family is praying for you. My wife and I live in Ankeny, so if you guys need anything we are just a short drive away. If you are up for visitors let me know.
