Radiation Run Through

Ferrell, the girls and I all went with him for what was to be a radiation run through but we had been told to come prepared for a real treatment. This was on June 17th and he had started the Temodar on the 16th just as we were told to. Turns out it was a real treatment and I took pictures which are on my Facebook page(against rules but we are paying for it so who cares). This was the first of 30 treatments. Ferrell had some nausea after the second radiation treatment that we are unsure if it was from radiation or chemo. He has had very few side effects since then. Some days he is more tired than others but that is easy to fix. We put him to bed. While the girls were here we spent most evenings down at the indoor swimming pool here. That was fun and I got to read. The girls worked out each evening even upper body. They devised some exercises on the side of the pool and ladders that used their body weight to work out upper body and did running through pool for lower body and swimming laps of course. It really made a big difference in both of them. We went to see several movies with them like Toy Story 3 and Eclipse. We also went to see the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero, and 5th Avenue among other things. They went home on July 11th for summer camps starting with the cheer camp for 1st-6th graders that they run with Mrs. Brown. Austin flew out on July 15th and got to go with Ferrell to his treatment and actually watch everything up until the actual radiation waves were started. They let him in the room with Ferrell. I haven't even gotten to see that other than on a screen. :-P Ferrell didn't end up going with us on Saturday and Sunday because of the heat and he was tired. Austin and I went to Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Central Park and Times Square Toys R Us on Saturday. On Sunday, we went to the Museum of Natural History and back to Rockefeller Center to the Lego store there. We had a good but tiring time at all the places we went. I took tons of pics which I will upload when I get home to a faster Internet connection. Austin headed back home on July 19th due to college classes on T,W,TH. We greatly enjoyed the time that all three of our children were with us. It made the time fly by which is good.
