After today, Anne will only have two radiation treatments left. We haven’t been told what to expect after that; I would assume periodic MRI’s to see whether the tumors have shrunk and to keep things under control. She still has trouble sleeping, but last night it appeared to be due to a sinus headache. Thurs. a.m. she made it til 5:00 a.m.; that’s almost a full night! She missed work one day this week due to being tired and run down, but otherwise has generally been there except for the radiation treatments. Thanks again for all the love and support; we both appreciate it, and I know everyone is helping her keep her spirits up.

On the positive side, we have finished the patio/deck project; we can once again go out the back door without stepping into a drain and we don’t find Lucy lying in the dirt. Due to the layout, we had a brick patio in 3 drop down levels along the back of the house. We had a deck built over the two lower levels that is now level with the third. Next week the contractor starts on a complete gutting of the guest bathroom …. ugh! Mike
