Today has been a good day for Joe. He had some energy and said that he is going to try eating a little bit of soup and drinking some by mouth this week. He will be ok if he can control the pain because even drinking water burns. I was sick myself this week and had to go to the doctors for a shot and Matt seems to have a cold now. We are trying to keep it all away from Joe so he won't get sick. Joe still has not gained any weight and is down to 157lbs. His color has improved and the good hours are becoming more frequent in the day. He has not vomited at all today compared to about 2 or more times a day in the previous weeks. Thank you very much for continuing to check this blog to see how Joe is doing.

Love,
Crystal
