Friday, June 8th

I have been home for a week, resting and regaining strength. Short, white fluff is covering my head as my hair is slowly making a comeback, Jutta thinks that it might grow back curly! 

Patience is probably not my forte and when I complain about being tired and lightheaded, Jutta has to remind me that I am doing much better this time around. I am looking forward to another 4 weeks at home with Juttas’ tender loving care before returning to the hospital for round 3 which, according to Dr. Boyd, could be less taxing on my body than the previous treatments. She even holds out hope that a number 4 might not be absolutely necessary – time will tell.

It looks like the rain is finally giving way to better weather and sunshine and we are looking forward to spending more time outside.

Tomorrow our son Hai is flying in from Switzerland and will be with us for a week, it will be great to have him with us. 

Being a proud Opa (grandfather) I have to tell you about another piece of great news: this week Paris was informed that she is being admitted to the prestigious “New House” school for communication at Syracuse University, she worked very hard for that one.

In closing I would like to thank all our family and friends from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful support. Your comments on the blog, e mails, cards, meals, tarts and phone calls are very much appreciated and are helping Jutta and myself through this difficult time. 

Most of all though, I am immensely thankful to Jutta for doing everything in her power to get me back onto my feet, she has and still is putting in an incredible amount of love and hard work. Thank you my love.
