Today was my 7th radiation treatment. I have 10 more with the possibility of 3 at a lower dose and to a more specific area. I am feeling okay. I have so much more energy than I had a month ago. The radiation is hurting my throat area. It hurts really bad to eat. I have to take really small bites and chew it up really good and it still hurts. I have recovered from all my illnesses. My lungs are back to normal. NO PERMANENT DAMAGE! I am still on oxygen at night, but only because it wasn't my lung doctor that put me on it. It was my oncologist and I don't see him again for a few weeks. I keep taking it off in the middle of the night and I am still alive so I think I will be okay without it.
We signed Zander up for soccer. He starts in August. I asked him if he wanted to play soccer and he said "YEAH! I want to have a number 1 on my back!" It was pretty cute. We got him some cleats and everything. I am excited to get him on a team. I can't wait until he can start baseball, but I think we are a couple years away from that. He is done with swimming lessons. They were a short thing. I missed most of it because I was in the hospital for the first one and too sick to go to the rest. I tried, but it was too much for me.
Irelynn is doing well. Crawling all over the place and getting into everything. The other day Frank was leaving for work and she said "bye daddy". She is picking up so much. She had her 18 month well child last week and her pediatrician is impressed with all she is doing and saying. She says mama, daddy, hi and bye bye. She tries to say doggy and baby. She is also starting to pull herself up on furniture.
Frank too is doing well. He is still a great husband and daddy and I am SOOOOO lucky to have found him. He still has his days though...
Cabin fever has set in pretty bad. I need to get out of town. We are hoping to go camping sometime soon. Maybe towards the end of July. We will have to see.
My friend Kim is here from Vegas. We have had lots of fun so far and I am sure there is more to come. We had a little reunion of some of our high school friends and are doing a BBQ on Thursday to meet each others kids.
I am getting excited to head to Vegas too, but have 4 more months until that happens. It will be here soon enough. I hope.
I will update you all again soon. Thank you to everyone for thinking and praying for us during this difficult time. We really do appreciate it.
