Update on Leon

Dad is holding baby Veronica (Justin's baby girl).

Mom asked me to give everyone an update on Dad. Late last year Dad's doctors switched the type of chemotherapy he was receiving. The previous type was believed to be causing bowel perforations. After multiple rounds of the changed chemotherapy he had x-rays last week and we found out the results of those x-rays yesterday. Unfortunately, the news was not good. His tumors were not responding to the different chemotherapy and some had doubled in size. Yesterday they switched his chemotherapy again. He got his first round yesterday and he will have this type of chemotherapy weekly for six weeks and then he will have a two week break.

In other discouraging news it looks as though he now has Parkinson's Disease as well.

Ava (Jeremy's little girl) talks to "Poppy" as she calls him.

We appreciate all your thoughts and prayers and concerns on his, Mom's and our behalf. He is still very optimistic and wants to continue with his chemo treatments.

Looking fine after a good haircut!

Thanks again,

Kellie
