Needles in my Throat

Ahhhhhhhhhhh. My throat is killing me from the radiation. Anything I eat hurts, except for popsicles. I have to watch my sugar levels though because of the steroids. I check my own blood every morning. I would eat ice cream all day if I could. The cold sensation on my mouth is almost like no other right now. So I am going to be making some shakes and start looking for soft stuff to eat. It is not fun. Like you all, I love to eat what I want and when I want and to not be able to do that sucks. I am craving all kinds of things. That is how it works in life. When you can not have something you want it more.

Otherwise everything is good. I will be done with radiation on Friday and we will be heading back down to Hollis on Saturday as of right now. Kinda weird to think we will be going to our own home. I really have not been home in 3 or 4 weeks. Weird. Alek turned 6 weeks today. It does go quick.

I can not wait for all of you to meet him. I really can't. He is the joy of my life! He loves to sit in my knees and play. I have these little finger puppets, a frog, a parakeet and a panda. He loves looking at them. We also have a little jungle gym set he lies on that plays music and flashes lights. He loves that too. He is sleeping pretty well at night. I think 3 plus hours is our record so far. Kath wakes up and feeds him and them I feed him his bottle. I am amazed at the mother and son bond though. There is nothing stronger then it. There simply is not. I guess that is not a surprise coming from a mama's boy like myself.

I just want to thank my parents again for all their love and support. They are awesome and I love them so much. It is amazing what they have done for me and for us. Amazing people.
I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD and Sandy too.

Well, I am looking forward to making plans to see you all in the next coming months.

I GOT THE FAITH AND ATTITUDE. I AM GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS.
