Mike had a slight setback this week. On Sunday, he got up to go into another room and after taking a few steps he fainted. Jason and Elise came right over and called 911. He was reluctant to go the hospital but everyone agreed that was the best decision. Once he got to the ER the panic wore off and he felt fine. After 8 hours and several tests he was sent home and told to be more careful when standing up in the future.
On Wednesday he was scheduled to get his third round of chemo, but after his bloodwork the doctor told us that he wasn’t going to get treatment this week due to a low white blood count. They said he would get a break and continue next week. He was a bit bummed but understood that it was for the best. On a positive note, he has felt really good the past few days and has been able to eat much more than he used to. He still doesn’t love eating, but we are finding things that he can at least tolerate.

PS here’s a photo of him from around 1998 that our good friend Meghan recently reminded us of.
