Hoyatalk day of prayer has already helped. His appetite is up and he is gaining some weight. Big week as we have Phillies games on Wednesday and Friday before a weekend trip to Pittsburgh to see Philly's relocated elephants at the zoo and a Pirates game on Sunday. Round six kicks of on Monday so he deserves this trip. Pray for good weather. Have a great trip! I guess we are praying for good weather. It reminds me of the old baseball saying. Most of you on this board are too young to know (remember) the old mantra (lic and easyed and a couple of others should know this) of the Boston Braves fans that went: Spahn and Sain and pray for rain.

Detroit had a variation on it: Denny McLain and three days of rain. Have fun. Harry Saxa!

Went to Phils' game last night. Coincidentally, Phils' losing streak ended for Harry. His sister was shown on the phanavision board dancing in the stands, while Harry concentrated on the game and the upcoming hitters. Priceless moments.
He has picked up some weight; his counts are good; we are full steam ahead for his Pittsburgh trip.

Wonderful trip to Pittsburgh this weekend. Went to Zoo/Aquarium on Saturday and Harry and Morgan were thrilled to see the relocated Philly elephants. A really terrific zoo in Pittsburgh.
Sunday we went to see Pirates/Tigers at PNC Park. That ballpark is simply beautiful and easy to get great seats. Harry loved the game and got an Andrew McCutchen jersey.
Best of all, his appetite returned with a vengeance and he gained a pound between Thursday and this morning. Checked in for sixth and final chemo round. He is going through chemo like Sherman through Atlanta.
Should be home Thursday and begin the four week gear-up to transplant. Thanks to all for the prayers and support.

Harry completed chemotherapy yesterday. Thank God. He tolerated it well and wanted to go to the diner last night for chicken fingers and fries.
Good to have him home and doing so well. Wednesday he has Pre-K graduation and Friday we leave for Cleveland so he can see Progressive Field and the Tribe.
Four weeks or so to go until marrow replacement. Need to keep bulking my little hero up for that part of the fight. Please pray for increased appetite and weight gain.
Thank you and God bless to everyone who has weighed in with support and love for my little boy. Your prayers and caring are helping him immeasurably and this father is forever grateful.
Have a happy and safe holiday weekend.
HARRY SAXA

Harry might be a little young for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but it is a fun place for a family if you have the time. Harry Saxa, keep on fighting little guy - and this may be the only time during the next 75 years of your life that you get to eat whatever you want, so go for it Prayers and love 'vadi

Unexpected trip to hospital for little Harry as he spiked a fever overnight and has to be admitted because his counts are in the crapper. Nothing quite like the CHOP ER at 3:00 a.m. to mae you apreciate the comforts of home. Pleae pray for a quick count rebound as Harry has Indians tickets for Sunday. One more lousy obstacle for him to conquer.

Praying to God and St Anthony for Harry. Dorothy Parker once said "What Fresh Hell Is This?". Way too many people have become very familiar with the statement. Keep your chin up Harry, it WILL get better!

Harry and your family are always in our prayers, we will say an extra one until his counts bounce back.
