Yesterday, Chris went to the radiation doctor.  He decided to do radiation.  The doc thinks that that will help with the pain in his back.  They did the "tattoos" and mappings so that next Thursday he can start.  Doc said it would probably be about a month before he feels any relief.  Side effects not to bad.  Tired, possible loose stools, stomach pain - all of which Chris already has - so, not much different than what he is already experiencing. 10-12 treatments.  He will go everyday.  Mon - Frid. until he has finished the number of treatments the doc wants him to have.  The area that is being radiated is close to the other spot that was radiated in 2008-2009 so they have to be careful not to get that spot.  The mapping will be critical.  His chest looked sooo cute:)  He had "new tattoos" that were circled in black sharpie and the old ones that they aren't going to use were circled in red with an x through them.  He was in a lot of pain yesterday:(  He also threw up.  Not sure what that was all about.  He said that his chest hurt because of the tattoos.  Not sure why anyone would willingly cause themselves pain. lol.
Today, we officially start summer!!  School out at 1:30.  Yipppeee!!!  Oh, except Tay - lol.  He starts his summer school PE class today:)   Chris has had Tay and Jacob out running so that they can be ready for cross country training (Jacob just loves to run - and I think he likes looking at the muscle in his legs - ok, showing them off. lol.)  Chris rides in the car along side Tay yelling words of encouragement.  I've got to get my video recorder out and film it.:):)  As I wrote before we have a lot of exciting things happening in the next week - wedding reception of Megs friend, Dakota's brother getting his endowments out, his farewell, Meg's best friend Tressa getting her endowments out and her farewell, eye doctor appointments, Tay PE class, cross country training starts at the high school on Monday, Chris' radiation (Thursday), and best day of the week - Monday - Megs email:):) (I put pictures up of her and her companion on her blog- soo cute)
Have a great day.  Love ya,
