I am so thankful that its Friday!! We had another long day. I was so excited this morning because our apt was for 9am, early enough to do something with the rest of the day. Boy did I jinx us. lol We got there at 830-we have to be 30 min early to ALL of our Proton apts-all ready for him to go back, we had one lil guy ahead of us. They took him back-then they came back to the waiting room...I was like NOOOO, please dont tell me the machine is broken again. It was-darn thing!! Its been broken I guess for the past several Fridays. Not to mention a few late starts during the week. I guess its pretty tempermental. Ugh!! Technology. lol So 2 1/2 hours later it was FINALLY Blakes turn. He was so hungry and tired by then. He fell asleep while I was holding him. Poor kid. I swear, this whole NO BREAKFAST is killing us! I hate it! We gotta do what we gotta do though, right?! So after he woke up at 115 we rode the shuttle over for our apt with Dr. Wolff. We were only 5 hours late for our apt. lol Crazy right? Dr. Wolff is actually in Venice for a conference, so we got to meet Dr. Vatts. He is amazing too!! We chatted with him, I liked the way he described the radiation process. He said its like Blakes tumor is a shell, the radiation is killing everything inside the shell, then as time goes on the shell may shrink as the tissue inside is dying. Hopefully radiation will stabilize his tumor. I just keep praying that Blake is a miracle and the whole tumor just disappears. Wouldnt that be SO cool! Ok so finally at 330 we were done and headed back to my car at the Proton center. And by 430 we were finally home. So much for a short day huh?! lol Oh well.
So tomorrow at 9am I will be saying goodbye to my hubby. Back to KC he will fly. I am not looking too forward to that. I am going to miss him. Blake has been quite the handfull lately. After talking to other moms it sounds like we are all suffering together with the same problems. Its horrible because these lil kids have already been through so much, and dont have the words to express their frustration/pain or whatever they are going through. So we all just try to do the best we can and take care of them-with LOTS and LOTS of patience. It is exhausting I will be honest. lol I am SO tired at the end of the day, but Blake is SO worth it. I know he means well, id be grumpy and aggravated too if I didnt get to eat for hours and was running around without a nap at 3 years old. I guess thats all for now-I will talk to you all soon!!
Oh, and I have had a few people ask for our address down here-If you wanna send a card to Blake, or color a picture I know he would love to receive them!

Our address here is:
4709 Broadmoor Dr.
League City, TX 77573

Thanks everyone! We love you all!!
