Radiation Treatment
We went to Birmingham yesterday afternoon for Sam's one and only radiation treatment to the chest area. If it is going to do any good relieving the pain, he should start noticing some results today. He felt really bad this morning and started the day off being nauseated. At least that happened before he ate his breakfast and took his pain pills.

Please pray specifically for Sam's pain to get better so that he will be able to have some quality of life. It's funny - I never knew or never thought of until now what the term "quality of life" really meant. Sam and I have always been so healthy. We never took our health for granted because we both have been exercise fanatics for the past 25 yrs. We would even run when it was raining and once or twice when it was snowing. You have to wonder was all the time devoted to running, working out with weights everyday and not eating the junk food that you really wanted worth it? I asked Sam yesterday where did the last 20 years go? We didn't really have a good answer but one thing for sure - I'm glad we had the last 34 years together. They have been fantastic.

A special prayer this week for Kelly. I bet she will be back on her blog as optimistic as ever.
She has had a few bumps in the road lately but I'm positive she will recover. Hang in there.
