Tom met with the Radiation Oncologist Tuesday, October 23. They did a Sim's (simulation). They made a mask for his face and gave him three tattoos. They went over how the procedure was going to work everyday. Tom will go back Tuesday for a practice run and the treatment will start Wednesday, October 31st. Happy Halloween! He will go Monday through Friday at 1:00 pm.
Tom is still struggling with a sore throat. I was hoping this would improve before it became sore again. His energy level and movement range is getting better, but not as fast as he would like. He is doing things around the house while he can, before he starts feeling tired again. The kids are enjoying having him home at night. Thanks to Tom's cousin, we now have 3 computers to "game" on and the boys are having a blast! Tom is having a hard time keeping up with them, as the boys have more experience with the computerized games and faster reflexes. Cody's football is done for the year and Kyle has one more game. I have to say, as I do every year, that by the time the last game is played I'm ready for it to be done. Once again, thank you for all the cards, e-mails, meals, and help that we are getting right now. I know that many people are saying that we continue to be in their prayers; maybe that's why we are handling each step/each day so well. A special thank you to friends Tim and Linda for the beautiful Michigan blanket that Linda made for Tom. This must have been the hardest blanket that she ever made (MSU alumnus).

Glad to hear that you like the blanket Tom! It was tough to see that Michigan fabric in the house! Glad to see it put to good use.
While I am glad to hear you are feeling better I am really hoping that blanket is used for a crying towel on November 3rd!
You're in my prayers Tom. I know God will show his healing powers in his own good time. Keep your head up
