I thought I had better blog this morning because today will get away from me and it will be 1 AM before I know it and I will be too stinkin tired!

Our boys are chomping at the bit to reserve a copy of Super Smash Brothers Brawl for the Wii! They have $100.00 of saved up cashflow and today I have promised them that I will reserve a copy for them! They will just have to patiently wait until March 9th to get the game!

I have a funny story about Hoag to tell you. As it was infuriating it was also funny! Malcolm and I wheeled Gary downstairs yesterday and I handed the Valet my ticket. Go figure that the Valet is free but you have to pay for TV! Anyhow, we waited for our car. And waited. And waited. And waited. I am not kidding when I tell you that everyone around us for at least 15-20 minutes were getting into their cars and driving away while we waited. So, Malcolm speaks up and nicely but forcefully asks where the heck my car is. Hmmmmmmmmm......... the guy says. It is a bit of a mystery because we see your car but we don't have your keys. Is this guy for real? I have like 30 keys on my keychain right now. It would be highly unlikely for these guys to have lost those keys. It is times like these where I wish I had the Clapper!
They search everywhere. I tell the guy that I saw him take my keys out of the valet box and put the on the counter. He questions me and tries to make me second guess as to whether or not I REALLY saw him put my keys on the counter. Once again, I am blond but NOT stupid. I know what I saw!
So, where did the keys go you are asking yourself??? Malcolm says to the guys after they had been chasing their tails for 10 minutes or so - Did you look on the counter? ...........................................................There they were. They had fallen behind the counter and were shoved in a corner. Poor Gary. Malcolm had wheeled him back into the hospital while we were waiting and we both felt like the parking gods were trying to keep Gary longer! But nothing could have kept us there! Gary was coming home!

As much as we loved everyone who cared for Gary is is such a relief to have Gary back home! We will still get to see Rose who wheeled Gary into radiation every day. We love her! She has been an angel sent from above for Gary.

It is so wonderful to come home to him on the couch. The Overseers from our church came over last night to pray with Gary and that is truly a blessing. We are so fortunate to be a part of our church family. They have been sooooooo supportive and to have 6 men come to our house with the soul purpose of praying with Gary is awesome.

My Mom is leaving today and Gary and I will drop her at the airport on our way to radiation. She has been so helpful and she loves our boys so much and she is always a blessing! She will be back in 2 weeks and then my Dad will join her and be here over the boys Spring Break! Auntie Robin will be here Sunday and Gary's parents will be here Sunday as well. Steph will come over to stay with all 3 boys today as they recover from varying sicknesses so we don't have to drag them to radiation! I think they will all be better for Opening Day tomorrow but you never know!

I slept on the couch with Gary last night. We will move into the downstairs bedroom after my Mom leaves and the boys will give Aunt Robin their room, the boys will be in our room and then Gary's folks will have the other guest bedroom upstairs. Musical Bedrooms!

The weather has been beautiful! I hope Gary gets a chance to sit in the backyard and soak up the sun today! Until yesterday he had not been outside in almost a month.

Last night Matt brought him A's Burgers and he ate it! Thank you Matt!

Nate is awake and the others are stirring. I need to get everyone ready and rolling for the day!

Please pray that Gary is comfortable at home.

Pray that the treatment is working and the cancer is being destroyed. I always picture his treatment like a game of Asteroids - for those of you who remember that game. The treatment is the laser gun and the cancer is the pieces of asteroid you try to blast in the game. Visually it is a great way for me to picture that in my mind! The object of the game (as well as the objective we have to completely destroy Gary's cancer) is to beat the game by having a blank screen! WE WANT THE BLANK SCREEN!!!!!

Have a great Friday and I will blog again on SUNDAY to give you a report!
Love,
