Hi Everyone,

We are home after our first full week of radiation. David has done very well this week, but is also extremely tired out.

He started this journey out being very frightened by every task at the radiation clinic, but has ended being pretty whimpery. I feel like this is a huge improvement. The radiation seems to be making him very very tired, and since we have to access his port daily, his poor little self is feeling pretty bruised. His skin is also raw from the bandages and dressings, so we are happy to have 2 days of rest before we have to do it all over again.

We are home for the weekend in Clemmons. David and I spent the week with Rob's parents in Greensboro which was really nice. Rob had some training that we decided it was important for him to be at, so his cousin Christin and his Dad accompanied me to the hospital 3 days this week. David loves them both and was happy to have them with us, and it was really great that I didn't have to be alone. Christin is going to come with me a few days each of the remaining weeks so that Rob won't fall behind at work. She is a delight to have with me, and we are so grateful that she is available!

Well, I have a ton of work to do at the house over the next few days, and I had better get started.
