There is absolutely nothing sweeter than coming home after being away, and today was a very sweet day. We had a great day for driving after a great night's sleep in Memphis (well, as least I did - I slept 12 hours!, Bobby much less). We walked in the door, and were greeted with the smell of Pine Sol and Pumpkin. When Michael walked around the corner, I gave him a big hug and said, "Oh, honey, you've been cleaning!" Then he admitted that well, he'd had a little help. Our friends Teresa & Linda had come over with their kids Tricia, Anna, Mary and Nate and they all pitched in to clean the house. Teresa left flowers, wine, pumpkin candles burning, and best of all the fridge stocked with everything we could imagine needing for our Thanksgiving dinner, plus chicken pot pie for dinner tonight. Talk about comfort food! Unbelievable.
Trip is coming home in the morning and my parents will join us for Thanksgiving Dinner. Bobby's still catching up on sleep and dealing with some fatigue, itching, and a little cough, but is definitely on the road to recovery.
We will not know if this treatment has been effective until some time in January, when he gets a CT Scan and we see Dr Keller here in Tulsa. The plan, as we understand at this point is that if there is any reduction in the size of the tumors in the adrenal glands, we will return to Vanderbilt to repeat another course of IL2 in February. If there is no change, or if the tumors have grown, we will go to Plan B, which is yet to be determined. I'm thankful to have some time to enjoy being at home over the holidays before we have to deal with those decisions.
Happy Thanksgiving - we wish you all a day of rest and relaxation, enjoying good food and good company, while counting all your blessings. Love, Juli

Don't forget the 3rd possibility - that the CT scan reveals no more cancer. Welcome home, and all the riches of God's glory to you throughout the holidays. Bev

Welcome home! I'm so glad you are back in Tulsa. And what sweet friends you have. Hope the entire weekend is lovely and restful.
Glad to have you back. It was great to see Bobby at church, yesterday. Although admitting to a bit of fatigue, he looked great. Rest in the knowledge that you're prayed for daily.
