Every time I get to spend alone time with my mom I understand more and more the challenges my dad faces and the heartbreak my mom is going through. I have been kind of out of the loop with having to take care of my sick kids, and as I get wrapped up in my life again [...]

A 2nd Look
My dad had a CT scan as part of his radiation planning appointment yesterday and we are going to call them tomorrow to see how things look, and just double check that the swelling is not increasing again. His mood is becoming increasingly agitated by the day (and granted, its his first week back at [...]
