Excitement

• So another good day today. Ric is still getting stronger every day. My parents were here today so I went out to do some grocery shopping. When I got back Ric was downstairs watching a movie. He went down on his own. He has not watched a movie for at least a month so I know he was feeling much better.
• Ric got a really special phone call this evening. Jim Lambert (former UW Football Coach) called Ric. Both Jim and his wife are cancer survivors. Jim happens to be a co-worker's father-in-law and found out about Ric's battle with cancer. Ric was so stoked about getting a call from him. They had a great talk about UW football and what this years team looks like since Jim has been to some of the practices. Jim encouraged Ric to stay tough, keep fighting and that he would be praying for him. He said he'd be checking back with him. It was so awesome and really made Ric's day.
• We also talked to Ric's doctor in New York. He will be continuing to do both treatments so that he can get the best of both to fight this. He's scheduled to do his next Avastin/5FU treatment on Friday Sept 9th.
• We are just taking one day at a time right now but are really encouraged about where Ric is right now in comparison to where he was a week ago. Really appreciate your prayers - they are working so please continue to pray for Ric's healing! Thanks & love you all!
