We just got home right now from a long day. We had a doc appt. with Barth this morning. It went really, really well. Dr. Barth was so incredibly nice and really was gentle with Gary. He intimidates Gary so much and truth be known Gary is not the best communicator with Dr. B. I can hardly imagine how Gary feels every day and not being a doctor we both have a limited understanding as to what is going on with Gary's cancer. Every day is different and you have to try really hard not to read anything into either a good day or a bad day. You just have to go with it.
Dr. B really took time with Gary today to listen to him and to try to explain things to him on a non-MD level. It was a very nice way to end our week at the office and to begin our weekend.
Gary will have chemo again July 9th and then we will do some scans on his liver on the 19th to see what the treatment is doing to the cancer. Until then we will just go with the flow and stay positive and enjoy every day! After all, it is SUMMER!!! !
The boys have been playing with friends all day and I got a pizza for them this evening from Costco so that should be easy.
Zach and I are going on a long ocean walk early tomorrow morning together. He has been waiting all week to do this and I keep pushing him off when things come up. We walked around Laguna Niguel Lake yesterday but that walk does not compare to the beach walk! 6 miles and brutal on the way back! Should be fun!
We have birthday parties and Grad parties all weekend. Hobie has to go to the Vet to get his paw checked out. He has some sort of "hot spot" on his front paw.
If anything changes I will Blog. If not, I will update everyone Sunday night or Monday morning.
Have a great Friday Night!
Love, L
Love Conquers All

A Look inside our family......
If any of you have not had the chance to walk the grounds of the Montage in Laguna Beach you are really missing something amazing!!!
I am at the Montage with Zach and my Dad and I am standing on the beautiful rock that jets out from the middle of the cove and it is the most amazing morning! The air is so warm and the breeze is gently blowing.
I look down to see the reef and the beautiful colors of the seaweed garden that sway with the tide. In such a small place there are so many amazing things about creation that just make me stop to remember to thank God for all he has entrusted to us!
This very moment makes me feel so blessed to have so many blessings! So many family members and friends who surround us and love us and are ready to go on this new journey with us.
As I am thinking my pride gets a hold of me for a moment and I tell myself that I can do this on my own. My thought is that I don't want to have to have help and put people in this position!
Then, as quickly as that thought fills my pride-filled head another one enters. This time, I begin to realize that there is no way we can do this on our own. First and foremost, our same Father who has created this amazing place that I get to spend so much time at is the same one who has blessed us with amazing family and friends who want to care for us.
There are simply no words to express my gratitude and love to everyone who surrounds us and is a part of our life - big or small!
Please take some time and get down to the Montage. Go with your spouse, a friend, your kids! When you are there take in the beauty that surrounds you and take a deep breath and thank God for everything you have and the fact that HIS spirit lives in all of us! What a privilege it is that we are all on this journey together!
I am not ready to leave my rock because the morning is the best part of my day and this day is looking amazing and I want to stay right here feeling exactly how I do right now! Zach is coming out of the water and he really wants to head down to Strands to walk on beach! Who am I to argue? What a day the Lord has made! I am certainly going to be glad and rejoice in it!!

Lisa, I read about the Hot spot. There is a spay at petco that you can spray on the hot spot. my cat had one on his tail (really big and very yucky). I bought dog hotspot spray and within a week it was gone. It saved me a trip to the vet.
