We have now reached the half way point! I am very proud of Ric...he is doing very well. He is still exercising, and doing odd jobs around the house. Today he tackled a project I created to make all our lives run more smoothly. Just some more organizational stuff for the kids school gear. Ric increased his decadron(or dexamethasone) to the full dose today. We will know in a couple of days if this helped his headaches, and managed some of the swelling. We are hopeful, as this same medication did help alleviate headaches and swelling after surgery.
I was able to accompany Ric today to his radiation treatments, for the first time, as the kids are now in school. This will be our new routine, with the exception of Ed driving Ric on Fridays...Thanx again Ed! We talked to the nurse today. Ric had some questions and she was very helpful in answering all the questions. This was a very interesting experience for me...we even had a little lady come around to offer tea and cookies. I should have taken her up on the offer and put my feet up for a while! Ric also had his weekly blood work done today. They were extremely busy...not sure if this was due to the long weekend.
Ric had a couple of headaches today...for which he did take Tylenol. Again, hopefully the decadron will help and he will not have to take any more Tylenol.
Due to Ric's continuing hair loss in patches we decided to take it all down today. I decided to shave Ric on the back deck, and burnt my suppper in the process! I think it looks okay...if I do say so myself...still waiting for payment!
The girls continue to take care of daddy, making cards and bringing daddy treats and snacks. He is really loved!!

Apologies for being a frequent commenter (I notice there aren't many others) - but I am watching/reading this all with a ton of interest and good wishes, and want to keep the conversation two-way in case you get bored of just posting things. Thanks to you guys for keeping us up-to-date with everything, and say hi to the girls for me.
Thanx Jeff. I do know we have other readers. Some have said they are "having trouble" posting comments. We do love to see comments though. I will say "hi" to the girls from you.
