Yes, I am officially done with chemo. My last treatment was July 10. I am just starting to have a little more energy and able to be a more active part of our family.

I went today for the prep appointment for radiation and will start next Thursday. It is everyday, Monday through Friday for 33 treatments. Side effects include a really bad sunburn and fatigue. I might also have some lymphodema (swelling of the arm).

Jim is doing ok. It is helping that I can actually be one on one with Alex without support and am doing more around the house.

Alex is ok. He is getting over an ear infection. One tube has fallen out and the other is almost out. He may need another set. He has an ENT appointment mid August. We'll go from there.

Our cat Jerome has been losing weight and we've been working with the vet to figure out why. He may have something going on with his heart. The next step is to get an ultrasound of his heart. Henry is aging fast. Jackson is as stubborn as ever.

We need some help with some outdoor things. Our front gutter is partially disconnected from the house and needs reconnected. Both gutters need cleaned out. Our tree/bushes need trimmed so they are not touching the siding. The bushes need trimmed and shaped. If you would be willing to help with any of this please let us know.
