happy birthday to us!


Well it is that time of year again....our birthdays!! Sean and I are very happy to be celebrating our birthdays this week. The festivities started with our annual family gathering at the Parto's on Sunday. And of course, Jay was there to also celebrate his birthday (3/18). We had a wonderful time and were both very grateful to be able to get out and go to the party. Sean had a great day and it was definitely a confidence builder, so maybe next time will be a little easier to go and visit.


Right now we are enjoying the extremely warm weather on the back deck. It is about 70/75 and breezy which feels fabulous! We are hoping that this evening when Bert gets home from work we can go out for a walk as long as the weather holds up!


Sean is doing really well. He is spending more time awake during the day, which is great, we have been able to watch a lot of good movies lately. Last night he decided he wanted to sleep on the sofa bed with me, so he did! He is keeping positive and looking forward to starting PCV again. We meet with Dr Hou and Dr Raj on Friday and get the results of the MRI and start new chemo. We don't expect that this MRI will show much of anything or be much help, since it is a different machine than the last MRIs and we are pretty much looking at this scan as a baseline.


We hope that everyone else is enjoying warm weather and happy days!

Happy Birthday to you all. I ran into your mom, dad and Courtney the other day at Squires. Wow, has she grown, and tall... Why couldn't you girls share some of that height with those of us who are too short for our weight.
I am glad to see you both looking so well. Keep up the good work. Take care.
