July 13 Update

The Moore-Russell Beach Trip 2011
Greetings Friends and family - it has been an eventful month, with business trips, weekend fishing (in California), our bi-annual beach trip with Renee's family and thankfully no medical issues.  This will be a short post, just to update you on my treatments...just today, I just finished my last dose of chemo for a while - the 6th treatment came right on schedule - no delay due to low neutrophil count this time.  Here's a neat little blessing - 3 of my 6 treatments have fallen during the weeks of this year's 3 major golf tournaments - the Masters in April, the US Open a month ago, and now the British Open this week - this is a wonderful little blessing because it gives me something to do, that is really never possible otherwise - lay on the couch for 4 days and watch every minute of the tournament and not feel a bit guilty  :-)....We have another family reunion coming up next week with my family in northern Wisconsin, so I will post after that.  Medically my counts look great, and I will be going to Houston at the end of August to get another bone marrow biopsy, analysis and consultation with Dr. Keating on next steps.  Thanks as always for your prayers and support.  Everyone here is doing well......let us know how you are doing and how we might pray for you.......Dan and Fam
