Locks of Love! 4/13/2013
We are very fortunate to have such loving family and friends! We can’t say “Thank You” enough for all that everyone is doing for us. This one is hard to describe in words and even hard to write. Travis’ 16 year old cousin, Bryan, decided he was going to shave his head in support of […]
Homewood Suites Address 4/13/2013
Many people have been asking for the address where we will be staying so here is our home away from home for the next 6-7 weeks. The best way to call is still on our cell phones since we can talk at any time. Homewood Suites – Westchase 2424 Rogerdale Road Houston, TX 77042 Attention […]
Moving Day – Homewood Suites! 4/13/2013
As much as we liked staying up on Lake Conroe, it was time to move down to Houston so we can take care of business and get this treatment started. So we packed up the van and checked out. Before we left the lake, we had to get that fishing session in that the boys […]
Last Appointments of the Week! 4/12/2013
Since our appointments were in the afternoon, we used the morning to catch up on some things and start getting ready to leave Lake Conroe and move to the Homewood Suites in the Westchase area of Houston. Although it is beautiful here, we were not anticipating having to make the drive to Houston every day […]
Houston, the Eagle has Landed! 4/11/2013
Did we mention we had NO appointments today! That meant we were able to sleep in a little and hang out by the lake for a while before getting started on our day. Houston, the Eagle has landed, or at least the ducks, pelicans and snowy egrets. We fed the ducks and there were some […]
Appointments, Appointments, Appointments! 4/10/2013
We have come to the conclusion that Houston is a very windy place! It is windy in the morning, windy all day and windy at night. We thought maybe the wind came from the Gulf but it seems that it always comes out of the southwest. We were told that this is an unusual year […]
Navigating the Waters 4/9/2013
It has taken a couple of days for us to not only figure out getting around Houston but also the small city of MD Anderson. When compared to Rady Children’s Hospital where everything is close together and very coordinated, MD Anderson is a large facility spread out over several campuses within downtown Houston. We take […]
First Day at MD Anderson 4/8/2013
We had a long day of appointments. We started out registering as a new patient at the Proton Therapy Center and then headed over to meet with our Radiologist-Oncologist. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Dr. McAleer is very nice and explained more about how the process will go. We have the simulation appointment for […]
Time to Relax! 4/7/2013
After 20+ hours of driving over these last 2 days, it was nice to have a relaxing day checking out the area around Lake Conroe. There are lots of boats, fishing, ducks and cool things to see. We decided to spend most of the day outside of the car. Imagine that! We celebrated the 1 […]
Houston, we have Travis! 4/6/2013
After staying the night in El Paso, TX, we made it to Houston (actually Lake Conroe to the north) after another 10.5+ hours of driving. Whew! We are staying in a 2 bedroom condo right on the lake for our first week here before moving to a hotel in Houston for Travis’ treatment. We have […]
