Hate when this happen...
As we were driving to the hospital this morning a rock hit the side of my windshield. Those 2 white specks in the black part is the site of impact. We park the car and come back about an hour later and that small crack spread about a foot and a half! Luckily that was the worst part of the day.

Another fun filled day...
We were given very short notice that Paul had a couple of consultations for his radiation in Boston today so all three of us piled in my car and headed down. The doctor came in and started talking with Paul about his medical history and his diagnosis. I wasn't able to sit in there long - about 15 minutes worth - before Alayna decided she had enough of being a quiet girl. So we walked around the hospital a bit and found this big fish. Then we headed back to my car to watch a movie. Today's selection was Curious George. Then when she fell asleep I watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding. On our way home we stopped and ate a late lunch at The Cheesecake Factory.

Things pile up...
Paul and I are trying to catch up with our "normal" lives. Paul would typically be cutting and splitting wood on his off days but he will be ordering several cords this week. The oil in his car needs to be changed but we will be taking it into the dealer so they can do it. I have an eye appointment that is overdue. The grass keeps getting taller. And the garden Paul planted right before he went into the hospital is severely neglected. But in between the weeds and grass growing wildly - I can see signs of new vegetable life! That is the metaphor for our life right now. Everything seems misplaced and in disarray -but we are growing stronger and we will push through all of this ugly stuff.

It's been a long day...
So basically his levels look really good and he didn't need any additional blood or platelets. They gave him his final dose of steroids and sent him on his way. We have his next appointment next Friday for the bone marrow biopsy. I think I will book a babysitter for that one though!
Let's see, what else? I finally buzzed Paul's head. It was sorta shocking at first to see him with no hair but we are used to it now. His energy level is really good and his appetite is great. He is having his friends Scott and Chris over tonight to shoot the breeze. I even made them a fantastic tasting 7 layer dip - minus one layer - so a 6 layer dip. So things are good on the home front for now.
I hope you all have a fun filled weekend!
Oh by the way! I hope you are enjoying our music selection. Alayna, Paul, and I each chose 2 of our favorite songs for you to hear. Can you guess who chose what?! :)
