Bethlehem Preschool, Oh My Gosh! Where do I begin? I loved the posters for the bake sale. I loved the picture of the kids with the baked goods. Beautiful as usual! The pictures of all the goodies that were for sale looked delicious. My mouth was watering and I wanted to be there with […]
Week 1 is Done! 4/19/2013
We met with the doctor today for our weekly scheduled appointment to check on Travis’ progress and we discussed the various side effects of the radiation treatment.

“Treats For Travis” Bake Sale by Bethlehem Preschool 4/18/2013
Both Tyler and Travis attended Bethlehem Preschool for 3 years each so we were there for 6 years straight.

Daily Grind 4/18/2013
We had our therapy this morning Travis was a little reluctant to go. His stomach is still hurting a little bit. During the treatment, he smells Clorox and sees flashing lights, which is the brain playing tricks on him. From what we are told, this is normal. I try to keep things positive saying that […]

Travis’s 16 year old cousin, Bryan, attends Clarkesville Academy in Clarkesville, TN, just outside Fort Campbell.

We are getting into the swing of things. Travis had a good day and only said that his stomach was a little off but he was still eating. He is talking about all the things he wants to do and food he wants to eat when Tony gets here on Friday. That is a good […]
Second Day of Treatment and First Day of Chemo 4/16/2013
We started out the day the same as yesterday after the treatment (not feeling well with the same side effects). We made it to our 7:00 am appointment at MD Anderson. When they were taking vitals and accessing his port, I informed them of the problems Travis had right after the therapy yesterday. They passed […]
First Day of Treatment and Grandma Arrives in Carlsbad 4/15/2013
We had our first proton treatment today. Our day started with breakfast in the hotel and then we left for the Proton Center. Since we were not sure about the traffic, we left early and ended up getting there an hour early. We were given a quick tour of the actual treatment area and then […]
Tony and Tyler Head Back to Carlsbad 4/14/2013
After getting settled, we had a good night’s sleep in our new Home away from Home. We woke up and had breakfast which is provided by the hotel every day. We decided to go to mass at the church across the street before heading to the airport. The church turns out to be quite diverse […]
