Another Good Day...

The sun was shining & Ben was playing happily throughout the day. His favorite game is chase. He can open pretty much every door in the Ronald McDonald house, so he does of course. When I am preparing a meal in the kitchen or cleaning up when we are done, he loves to sneak of the door and run laughing down the hall as I chase after him. He is definitely the most active child I have seen here so far. Hopefully that will continue to be the case even after starting his treatments. The medical staff are still amazed at how well he seems to be recovering from his surgery. I don't have anything to compare his recovery with but I am grateful to have his busy fun loving self back!

We met with another member of his medical team today. She gave me a huge blue binder full of general information about cancer and the treatments and care he will be recieving. The information I recieve from the doctors, while still a bit scary, sounds much more promising than the things that many of you have read about on the internet. We were warned at the beginning of this adventure to be careful about the information recieved on the internet. Don't let it freak you out either! Johnny and I both still feel good about the decision to continue treatment here in Seattle.

On a more fun note....my children are coming! The two in school will come for a short visit before Benjamins radiation treatment begins. Then they will keep Johnny company in Alaska until summer. The younger two will come live with Ben and I here in Seattle. Mom Allred will be coming as my right hand and second mother. She is an angel and we are so grateful for her. Ben is very happy when he sees pictures of his siblings. I can't think this will be anything but good for him. I know it will be good for me.
