First Half of August 2018














I've neglected my blog and will attempt to catch up.  August has been radiation month.  I started August 6 and have had 10 treatments so far.  Ron and I stayed in Overland Park August 6, 7 and 8 and spent the night with the Todds.  We had fun with the kids, taking them for lunch, etc.  Peyton went to radiation with us for the second one and even met with the doctor with us.  Garrison was at baseball camp - we had taken him earlier, and Madison picked him up.

The next week, I spent Monday night with the Todds after going to radiation that morning and spending the rest of the day with Amanda and the kids.  Amanda took the day off.  We had lunch at Chipotle and ice cream at Freezing Moo.  The kids went with Amanda to the school for Snoop Night to meet the teacher and for Amanda to sell school emblem clothes - she's PTA president this year.  Chad joined them around 4:30 p.m. to go with them to meet their teachers.  Garrison has Mrs. Kenney - Peyton has Mrs. Baird - 1st and 4th grades.  Where does the time go?  That night, Peyton had gymnastics and Garrison had his first baseball game of the Fall season.  He had two good hits and played good in the field while Amanda and I were there, but we had to leave early to pick up Peyton at gymnastics.

Tuesday morning, Madison came to stay with the kids - Amanda flew to New Orleans for work - and I went to radiation then drove home.  Radiation and resting is pretty much what I did the rest of the week until Friday.

Ron went with me to radiation on Friday.  We went to Olive Garden for lunch.  After the kids and Amanda got home, we went to Qboda for Mexican for dinner.  Chad went to a coach's meeting at a local bar - hmmmm - maybe not too much meeting, just having fun!

We spent the night with Todds - the smoke detector went off twice - Chad went up in the attic but no smoke or fire so all was well.  Peyton was wigged out so she slept the rest of the night with Amanda.  Garrison was unaffected - went back to bed.

On Saturday morning, Chad went to play in a golf tournament.  The rest of us went to Garrison's soccer match before we went to Culvers for lunch, then we came home.

Sunday we went to church.  I did laundry, baked muffins for Garrison for the freezer and made bread pudding.  Now I'm resting for the rest of the day.

13 more radiation treatments to go - then I will be done.

Feeling grateful and blessed to be back out and and about and feeling good.  God is good.
