Sam Turner Update

This is long overdue and I apologize profusely. Sam is doing well. He had a chemo treatment last week and goes for an eye exam to monitor progress tomorrow morning. The previous treatment caused quite a scare as he had an allergic reaction to the drug they were using. He had to stay in the hospital for observation, but proved himself to be very resilient. Fortunately they found an equally effective drug that Sam was able to take without difficulty. Also with the previous treatment, Sam's platelet and white blood cell counts dropped pretty low which posed the threat for bleeding and infection--thankfully, he did not have any problems as a result. Pray that his counts would remain okay this go round and that the eye exam will show decreased tumor size or may we be so bold to ask for complete resolution! Thank you for your prayers!~Haley
