He is in great spirits and is so positive. We are both cheerleaders for each other this morning. However, I know that I will soon be head and only cheerleader for him.

I am sending my love to you both - wishing the very best. Cheer on - you can do it. I am waiting to hear if I have a match and when I will start - I am nervous as I am sure you both are too. Best to you and let us know how it goes all thru this. :-)
