Days 7 and 8

Hi Everyone,

Ahhh...a nice weekend break from radiation. Weekends are the best! We started things off last night with a lovely Italian dinner with Randy's parents at Papa Vino's....yum! Today, we plan on taking photo's of stuff we want to sell on Craigslist and figure out if we should have our bedroom and spare room painted and carpeted...maybe that should be our next poll :-)

Anyway, Randy is doing well. He has had a couple of more headaches, but we are happy to say that Tylenol is a wonderful product that has taken those headaches away. A couple of people have asked about the dizzy spells. For the most part they are gone. He will occasionally experience a "falling" sensation when he closes his eyes, but it isn't anything severe. Randy has also had 2 days of outpatient physical therapy. His neck is quite sore and tight and he wonders if it will ever loosen up again (it will). He is being very good about doing his exercises at home as well!!!

We took Joshua with us to our Friday radiation appointment. God was so good. They were ready for Randy right when we walked in the door and 15 minutes later we were out of there! Of course, everyone loved Joshua. He was such a good boy...I was so concerned about taking him because I knew that the majority of patients there were older and very sick and probably not to into dealing with a toddler running around. The 15 minute visit was perfect and I think it lightened the mood at least for a moment. Yeah God!

I will be sure to post more next week...until then...thanks for reading and thanks for praying!

Love,
Randy, Rachel and Joshua
