Done with the sixth round...

Beau is done with what might be his last round of chemo!!!! He is going back to Sam's house today. Mom said all of his blood counts are great and he didn't get sick at all this time. He had a little trouble sleeping one night but never threw up or anything. Beau will have to be in Houston for about 2 1/2 more weeks. He has to get all of his scans done again and meet with Dr. Benjamin but we are expecting him to be headed home on July 2nd. I say we "hope" this is his last round because Dr. Benjamin had mentioned possibly giving Beau another round of Doxorubicin after this last round but he said he was leaning towards Beau being done. They will make a final decision on that sometime next week.  I will let everyone know as soon as possible when they decide if Beau is through with chemo...

I can't believe he might finally be done and I can't thank all of you enough for the prayers, thoughts, cards and gifts that were sent Beau's way. Beau has been in Texas since February 23rd! We are so ready for him to come home. Right now, we are planning to have two different parties for Beau. One will be a "welcome home" party that is scheduled for Wednesday, July 8th. This depends on Beau coming home on time so we will have to play it by ear. The other party is actually the "Bolingbroke Southern Jam - Benefiting Beau Slocumb" on July 25th. This is going to be an awesome night of concerts and fellowship to celebrate Beau and what he means to all of us. It will be held in David Prim's front pasture on Pea Ridge Rd. right off of HWY 41. I will provide more details about this concert later this weekend.

Please keep remembering Beau in your prayers and plan to join us on both of these nights as we welcome Beau home!
