Happy Halloween!

Hello Friends, Family, and Blog Fans:

Nick is really doing well this week. The side effects from the radiation (nausea) seem to be gone and his appetite is all the way back!! Carolyn's cooking and my BBQ have put about 7 pounds on Nick and he needs it. His hair is growing back! He has been going to school but it is not his favorite thing.....never was.....so nothing new here. Once he is there, he does great.

The weather here has been fantastic so Nick and Kenny have fished and played outside.

Lawrence and Leanna are very busy with their normal school activities. Lawrence played some baseball in Vegas and won his first basketball game yesterday. He had a decent tournament in the desert but not great....I allowed him food and water anyway....his team went 1-3 but they mostly beat themselves by playing pick-offs into triples and committing other defensive gaffes. Fortunately, Lawrence wasn't a part of the defensive gaffes and he even pitched an inning. Rocket shot to the second baseman, one out, walk, one hopper to the second baseman 4-6-3!!
What an easy game!

Tonight is Halloween and the kids are fired up. We carved the pumpkins last night. The kids look forward to trick or treating. Leanna is having a "few" friends over and with all the other neighbor kids stopping by I am sure it will be house-ape heaven around here but I wouldn't want it any other way.

We leave Sunday for NY to continue the 3f8 antibody. Hopefully, this will be one week there and then back home for 3 weeks. That is the plan but the plan can change based on testing and other procedures that they deem necessary.

Notice that Nick has graduated to the Sweatshirt Version of 'Cancer Sucks' Thanks Uncle Mike B for the sweatshirt!!
