Grandfather to start treatment on March 30th

Hey all, my Dad will start his radiation treatment on Monday, March 30th and will have to go to MDAnderson every day, Monday through Friday, for six weeks. There is a myriad of side effects, some short term, some long term. Hopefully the worst he will have to endure is dry mouth, although if you've ever really had dry mouth you know that that's not fun in itself. I guess everything is relative.

Everyone here is doing well. Ryan is getting excited to see his Grandpa John and his Grandma Belle in the next couple of weeks. He will turn 11 months this Saturday - I can't believe he's almost 1!!!

The Baby Girl is doing great, growing like she is supposed to and making me more uncomfortable every day! That's okay though. Big is beautiful, right!?!? Hahahahahah... We are in our 29th week now and we are trying to get to 36 so we have a little less than 7 weeks left! Time flies! The plan, as of today, is to have an "amnio" on Friday, May 8th. If the test shows that her lungs are mature enough, we will have a c-section on Saturday, May 9th. If they're not developed we will wait one more week and then have the baby.

That's about it for us. Ryan (and Mommy) is hoping to get a puppy dog for his birthday (even the pediatrician recommends it!) but Daddy doesn't want to comply. Maybe one day... Maybe a little girl will help change his mind. He has no idea the control a little girl can have over her daddy... This should be fun to watch!! :)

Until next time...
