Sunday April 25th

Once again this was a very busy weekend for Dave and our "revolving door" of company! Kip, Leeann, and Jayden came over Friday night and brought Mexican food....who would guess that Dave would be in the mood for that!! HAHA...he is hard to second guess. Mike, Karey and Roz were here from Texas and his sister from Olathe, Janice, Tim, Scott and Alex were here as well. There was a family reunion this weekend in Hutch so everyone was coming this way .....it was a fun visit for us all. Matt and Cayte came over and brought "Big Matt" with them...(it was good to see him).....Chris and Morgan were here most of the weekend....there was a housefull.
I rented some movies, and when Chris came to get Morgan after work this evening, Dave, the dog and I were all in bed, half asleep watching TV. It was a phone off the hook night......
Our week will be a busy one, since he has radiation every day at 11:00. In addition he will go from radiation to chemo on Thursday. That will be a long day that will begin at about 10:30 and go until possibly 4 or 5:00. Chris has offered to take Dave to radiation every day, and that is a help to me since Dave is for all practical purposes bound to his wheelchair. It is getting harder for me to get him in and out of the car, but Chris is able to lift him. It also gives them some time alone together...which they both enjoy.
We continue to receive so many e-mails ad cards. It is amazing the people that we have heard from.....My answering machine is not working......so if you really need me keep trying or call my cell...250-5963.
I visited with Marsha Rowley this afternoon and Dave got all of his paperwork in for the sick leave bank. He will finish the year with enough days that he will not be "docked" pay. He has worried about that fact from day one.....so all is good. He is just really disappointed that the radiation keeps him from going to school.....what a remarkable guy......
Phyllis Guinn and her mom came by this weekend too...It was so good to see them. Her mom is such a remarkable lady.....she is 90+ and holding.....but she looks at least 20 years younger....I think her secret is a positive outlook on life and a smile for everyone......anyway they brought over the poster for the Benefit Bash that is scheduled for May 16th for Dave. There are no words to describe how moved I was when her son (and band member) Kevan called me to ask if they could do this...it will be a very emotional night.
Blessings to all...hope that you have a great week.....
