Happy Father's Day!

Hope all the dads out there enjoyed their day! Justin was greeted first thing this morning with a gift made by Jackson. He really wanted to make his dad's first father's day a special one, so he customized a picture frame with a picture of the two of them. Justin loved it! We also were able to have a delightful dinner with Justin's family and show off the new landscaping we have done this week. It was quite a mess and I was glad Justin had enough energy to help me with it. Justin also went to two, yes TWO Tiger's baseball games this week. The best part: the games were back-to-back, both Thursday and Friday. I am so proud of him and so glad that he is feeling so well. I hope it continues for him because he is getting antsy and for anyone that knows Justin that translates to BORED!!! He barely listens to my bossiness anymore, which must be the true indicator that he is feeling much better and things are looking like they were before all this began. So I don't mind. I still worry silly, but we have such a great support system from our families that they keep me in check. Thank goodness.

We have a busy summer ahead of us. We are joining the Methodist church in Birmingham and will be baptising Jack in late July. We are also planning his first birthday party. Good things to keep both our minds busy and focused.

Tomorrow Justin has his 9th treatment or the beginning of his second to last cycle. And even though we are dreading it a bit with all the fatigue it brings, there is a bit of excitement, actually relief, that the end of treatment is near.

At Justin's last check up it was pretty much confirmed that Justin will receive radiation beginning in September. We haven't discussed too much at this point what it will all mean. We definitely will have to jump back into research and find a doctor that specializes in radiation for lymphoma patients. I have read that finding a lymphoma specialist is key since the area of radiation is a bit more complicated. We'll have to enjoy our summer first!
