Joey's most recent clinic visit went really great. His counts are back up and all else is well. All in all it was an uneventful, if that can be said about chemotherapy, visit to the clinic.
The day before Joey's visit he asked his mom which vein she thought would be the best. It was a simple question but it caught Sharon off guard. She tried her best to play the game with Joey and they each picked one but she was very emotional when she got home.
Joey continues to amaze all of us. His willingness to take pills, treatments and everything else that gets thrown at him has been an inspiration to me.
Please keep Joey in your thoughts and prayers.
