Avastin Infusion #2 Complete

Yesterday we ventured back down to OSU Medical Center for Tom's second infusion of Avastin.  It was quite comical reading the scale as Tom's weight tipped out at 213.7 pounds!  An all-time record high for him that brought us much laughter and a huge smile of accomplishment for Tom!  I guess a few steroids, inactivity and amazing meals from friends does the trick on a man who could never gain weight as bad as he tried!
Treats from Carrie
While we waited at OSU, our friend, Carrie Houts greeted us again with warm conversation, a free valet parking pass and yummy treats too...thank you, Carrie!
Not only did we enjoy these treats but Tom also took advantage of any food offered him.  While we were there he consumed a turkey sandwich, chips, Coke, three cookies, and a chocolate ice cream!  No wonder the pounds are adding up.
Not only is Tom putting on the pounds but I am too!  We are so blessed with friends and family who have brought us such delicious meals.
Chicken Fajita Pizza
Last Saturday we enjoyed Chicken Fajita Pizzas made by Ruth Beschta along with some of her awesome caramel corn.  Anne Marie Weakley brought a strawberry banana triffle dessert!  Thank you Ruth and Anne Marie for "tag teaming" on a fun dinner for us.  Saturday evening WCS hosted "Celebrate the Arts" at the Peggy R. McConnell Arts Center in Worthington.  We were not able to attend but have heard such wonderful comments from those who were able to go.  We are so appreciative to Cathy Watterson and her God-given artistic abilities that she used to create an amazing piece of art in honor of Tom!
Cathy Watterson's Art Piece
Sunday after church we enjoyed a taco bar prepared by Lorraine Smith
Thank you, Lorraine!
While we were at the hospital yesterday, Granny worked her amazing skills in the kitchen preparing us a delicious chicken pot pie, squash & cottage cheese salad...yum!
Thank you, Granny!
A sweet & special surprise gift came in the mail yesterday from Tom's
Uncle Y.T. and Aunt Patsy
Thank You!
