What an Awesome clinic day! Nolan's blood counts were excellent, he was happy and best of all we got to see so many of our wonderful friends :-)

Now that Nolan has recovered from all the problems he was having and his blood counts have remained stable Dr. Aguilera decided to go up a little on his chemo.  He Started Cycle #4 today of Cytoxan and will alternate between 25mg and 50mg.  He will also start 100mg of thalidomide tonight.  From the time he started this protocol we were supposed to be increasing the thalidomide weekly but Nolan's body wasn't able to handle it.  Now we are at a really good point and Nolan's doing the best he's done in a long time.  Just continue to pray for his strength....Dr. Aguilera said, it could take between 3-4 weeks to see how his body is handling the changes.

After the clinic we went to Georgia Tech to visit his tennis buddies.  It's always sad to see the old friends graduate and go but it is exciting to meet all the new faces.  Nolan just loves hanging out with these guys and we appreciate the time they take to spend with Nolan.  I can't say enough good things about this team! Coach Kenny Thorne does such a good job!

 Exciting news, Nolan was able to spend some time with the Braves Sunday.  You can see a few of the pictures on his flickr site www.flickr.com/photos/pray4nolan.  There was also a short segment done on the Rally Foundation and you can see that tomorrow on NBC sports at 9pm.  The show is called "Caught Looking" a behind the scenes look of MLB.
