Chemo postponed.....

I had just got on the road headed for Georgetown when I got a phone call from Diane. They have decided to postpone Cody's chemo at least until Friday. His liver numbers are even higher than last week so they didn't want to take a chance and damage the liver even more. The theory behind this idea is this. Diane thinks Cody looked worse on Sunday and he is looking better since then. The doctors hope that his liver numbers crested on Sunday and are heading back down. I guess we will find out on Friday. He still has to go in for radiation tomorrow but that is it. Par for the course you know?

It is with a heavy heart that I mention the passing of a very good friend. Steve Thornton of Louisville, KY died as a result of a camping accident this past weekend. I ran many races with Steve and his brother Pat over the past couple years. Steve is the guy with bib #6420 standing directly behind me in this picture from the Virginia Beach 1/2 marathon in 07. Steve was always making trips up to Virginia to help with a yearly charity event and run races or just hang out with friends. He was a very good man and will be missed. My prayers go out to him and his family...
