Another Mini Update....

Now that I am feeling better, and I let out all the negativity, I feel better for the time being. Daniel and Barry returned and immediately felt better for having the hustle and bustle of two men in the house! Talk about emotional roller coaster. It was a tough few hours, and now I feel back on course for the time being. There is one more trip to the hospital for Radiation. Barry has made it through this leg of the battle and he didn't get sick or any headaches, thus far! I am proud of him for finishing this. The secretary called me back and the chemotherapy was successfully moved from September 11th to the following Monday, the 14th. Please keep Barry in your thoughts that day and visualize the cancer getting smashed to smithereens by the chemo! :)

Today is the day Daniel has been waiting for since he knew what school was! He got to go to school and meet his teacher, and see his classroom. He loved it, to say the least. He was polite, articulate, a good listener and he played well with one of the 2 girls that was there, Helen. The other girl was quite shy and stayed with her mother most of the time. He did a puzzle made of numbers 0-9 and told the teacher (Mrs. Manford going forward to be known as Mrs. M) each number and colour and order of the numbers when asked. She then said she was going to have Daniel teach the class and she would put her feet up lol. It was a proud moment for Barry and I! Then he found a clock and moved the hands and told us it was 6 o'clock, and it was! I didn't even know he could tell time lol. This boy is a genius! He loved seeing all the toys and played nicely when the teacher was talking to the parents. When it was time to go, the poor boy cried his heart out! Mrs. M said she had never seen a child cry when it was time to leave, only when they were dropped off! Lol Daniel goes back this coming Tuesday for an entire day without Barry and I. I can't believe he is growing up!! Then, on the 17th he starts going every Tuesday, Thursday and alternate Fridays. We are so proud of our little man! He is growing up before our eyes!

It was definitely a day of ups and downs, but now its on the up. We are going to settle in and watch some television and then go to bed.

Thanks for reading our blog. The numbers are growing every day, and Barry loves hearing how high the numbers go!

Please don't forget to send your cards, if you haven't already! My goal is 50, so lets keep them coming!

Lots of love to you all xxxx
