Round 2

Hi Everyone,

I feel bad that I haven't updated you all for such a long time, but things have been very very busy.

First, the kids finished up the school year with flying colors. They both had a great year, and we are so pleased about all they have learned. So, now I have a First grader and a Second grader.

Secondly, we closed on our new house!! We are super excited to be in a new place that is merely 15 minutes from Rob's work. It is amazing how much stress this has relieved from our lives. The house is in a great neighborhood, and has plenty of space for all of us.

Last, I was without internet for a couple of weeks while we were moving and unpacking and so forth. I am still only a fraction of the way through, but it is nice to be able to have all our stuff in one place again. I am finding that there are many things that I don't need anymore that will give me the chance to have a nice big yard sale :-).

We will be taking David back to Duke on Thursday and Friday of this week for his second round of chemo. Once his counts recover from that, we will be starting his radiation treatments. We have found out that they will be daily treatments - five days a week. We get the weekends off. This will last for 3-4 weeks. This is the part that I am the most nervous about. Even though they have improved the techniques of radiation a lot, they will be radiating his eye socket. There is the chance for him to have some facial deformity and possible brain damage. We will covet your prayers especially during that time that the radiation will kill whatever cancer might be there with no physical, mental, or other side effect at all. We are grateful that Rob will be able to be at each of these treatments. It may mean that he will have to work some later hours or possibly weekend hours, but we are just thankful that he has a job that is being so flexible with all of this.

Oh, our new mailing address is 101 Roquemore Road, Clemmons, NC 27012.

I'll try to update you again soon.
