I wanted to let everyone know how much Barry, Shirley, and the entire family are really enjoying all of your comments. Staci told me that Dad and Shirley leave the web page open on their computer all day long so they don't miss any postings that you might leave. Shirley said that "checking the blog" is the first thing that Dad does in the morning. He tells me how much he enjoys it every time we talk.
Tomorrow morning they will be draining his abdomen as it is getting quite full of fluid again. This is quite a time consuming project. They first drain the fluid and then keep Barry for observation for several hours. The last time he went, he was really excited about the lunch they bring him! This will be the third time it has been drained. The first time was 4.5 litres, the second time was 4.25 litres; should we start a pool for this round?
Wednesday is a big doctor's appointment! We will be meeting with the oncologist and he should have all of the test results to go over. Please keep Barry in your thoughts and prayers for Wednesday, and I will post an update as soon as I get the opportunity after the appointment Wednesday afternoon.
Thanks again to EVERYONE for their kind words and offers of support!

As you do, I hope you feel our arms too (your friends and family)they are wraped around you both, sending strength and love.

Make the worry disappear.
