Where to begin...

We'll start with the exciting news and then get on to the other stuff. So, on Sunday, Megan officially felt the baby kick for the first time. We were driving in the car and all of a sudden Megan started laughing. After a few strange looks, Megan said "I think I just felt the baby move." She had felt the baby move around a little bit before, but never like this. It was definitely the neat and exciting experience that we need more of right now.

So, now for the updates on me. I started radiation therapy on Monday. To do the radiation, they have to have you in the same position each time so that the treatment is hitting the exact spot. Well, this creates issues the first time they are trying to set you up because it is a long, tedious process. So, I spent Monday from 10:30-12 and then from 4-5 at the Cancer Center. But, now that they know what position I need to go in and have my back marked up like a shooting range, the process is much quicker. As a matter of fact, today I only spent 20 minutes in the building.

The radiation treatments will continue for the next 6 weeks (4 down, 26 to go). So, Lord willing, we will be done on March 27th. The techs, nurses and doctors have been wonderful. I couldn't ask for a better group. Despite the depressing nature of what they do and the miserable attitudes that everyone could have, everyone in that unit is upbeat and wonderful. They are all incredibly special people.

Throughout this whole ordeal, we could not ask for a better support system. Our church, friends, family and coworkers have been wonderful. We have received get well soon cards, gift cards, fruit, chocolates, dinners, hugs, prayers and so many other blessings that we could be here all day trying to mention them all. They say that in times of need, you find out who your real friends are and we're finding out that we have even more friends than we could have ever imagined. We are truly blessed.
