Houston
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

El Paso, TX…half way there! 4/5/2013
Carlsbad in our rear view mirror is kind of bitter sweet but we know this is the right decision to help Travis beat this thing. We are so thankful to have our friend Maggie as such a great house and dog sitter. We know Cisco is in great hands and thanks for taking care of […]
Ready or Not? 4/4/2013
Wow! Where did the time go? The last couple of days have been busy trying to get ready for Lynne and Travis to be in Houston for 7 weeks. Lynne has Tyler and I all stocked up while she will be gone. Maybe she thinks we don’t know where the stores are. We did manage […]
Houston Contacts and MD Anderson Links 4/3/2013
In talking about our situation and word spreading, we have been very fortunate in that so many people have shared their stories and/or personal experiences with us. We have also been blessed with some people having very close contacts in Houston and they have been great sources of information for us. As it turns out, […]
