It is Wednesday, considered "Hump day" here at the cancer center. (They think they are the only ones who get excited about Wednesdays!) A little girl named Stevie "graduated" today. She let a big bunch of balloons go in front of the center, then went inside to celebrate big time with all the people who have watched her go through her 2 months of treatments, lose her hair and come out with a big smile. What a cutie! She is only 5 but acts much more mature than most kids her age. I guess with cancer, you have to grow up fast. Major's treatment was much longer today, almost 2 1/2 hours but he did great and saw his Dr. to boot. He does really well until later in the evening when he starts feeling achey again. That lasts much of the night but by morning he feels good again. I was talking to several wives whose husbands are being treated here and we all agreed how blessed we are to be able to have them treated with the proton because the side affects are so minimal. Some people here at the proton center have to have chemo along with the proton and they have a rough time with that. We are so lucky!!! I put some pictures Major took at Galveston. We took another trip there the other day but hadn't put them yet. He really enjoys catching the different birds. If you click on the picture you can see it bigger. (just in case you are as computer "slow" as I am and didn't know that!!)

That's wonderful about Stevie.......There are always shining moments to be tucked away when we are facing struggles, that's one of the blessings found in our challenges. We love the pictures of the birds...I especially love the white bird gliding over the waves. We hope to see lots when you return. Take care, keep smiling and finding moments to enjoy together! Love C & C
