One more radiation treatment today and he gets a break for the weekend. It's been a good week considering that it's his first full week of treatments. He's managed to stay on course but has been very tired. This is not unexpected. His biggest challenge now is his appetite. Now that he's been given the OK to eat anything he wants he doesn't want anything. As some of you know he's a very picky eater and it's just gotten worse. He continues his ice cream regimen 3 times a day with a supplement of jello, banana with peanut butter and coffee. Although the supplements are very very small at least he's eating a little. We have gotten in a little routine now and after radiation he likes to go for a ride in the car. I have taken him to Yorktown through some of the scenic byways and down the parkway. He always enjoys the scenery. We actually came upon a family of swans and their babies. Now, those are some ugly ducklings that grow into beautiful swans. We both appreciate every one's concerns, prayers, cards and comments. Thanks to all of you for including us in your thoughts.
