The boys and I made it to Utah after a LONG drive across Eastern Nevada. They say Nevada is not a wasteland...but whoever made up that slogan must not have ever driven across Nevada! Anyways, I heard "are we there yet" more times than explainable from Jake and Austin. They did pretty good and we arrived at Grammy and Grandpa's on Saturday night. The boys and I have been taking Tim to his treatmentsand have really enjoyed spending time with him. He goes to Saint Marc's hospital, which has a satellite radiation center for the Huntsman Institute so the drive is not as far. Tim will be getting his 10th treatment today and is doing well...just a bit tired. I think is is tired because he doesn't sleep much. The 1st night we were here, he was up until 5am!!! The next few nights he sleeps a few hours, gets up and wanders around for a few more hours and then goes back to sleep about the time the boys and I are waking up. He is working with his doctors to try to figure out what is causing the insomnia, but from what I've read, it's one of the side effects from radiation.
We are staying with his parents and they have been wonderful! Tim is spoiling the boys...imagine that...and calls this our "Month Long Vacation". We've been to the pumpkin patch, to Cabella's and are going to play mini golf and do batting cages after today's treatment. The boys also want to go to the zoo, to Lagoon (amusement park) to the dinosaur musuem...etc, etc. so I'm sure we'll be busy the whole time we're here.
We're doing great so thanks again for the continued prayers for our family.
