Round 2

Round 2 of the radiation to the lung was this week, and it went well. Swelling of the eye is a constant problem though. It must be so frustrating!
My parents had a great time on their trip to Tampa. Louis'retirement ceremony was very nice and the retirement party was even better! Louis presented my Dad with a shadow box full of medals and ribbons etc. that Dad had earned over the years during his own Marine career. He was quite touched that Louis would take the time to honor him at his party - he felt like he was having his own retirement party all over again! Thanks to Louis and Jacquie for doing that and to mom for slipping the medals and mementos to them! I have posted some pictures of the retirement events and you can see the treasured shadow box in a few of them.
Thanks for the many prayers - keep praying that the cancer stays away and that the swelling would finally recede ~~
