I opened my eyes this morning and realized that it was January 21st! Where did the time go? I was so proud with the pace at which I had kept up with the blog for so long and promised that I would not let days pass with out posting an update. Truth be told, I have been working around 14 to 16 hour days over the last few weeks on a project for my previous employer. I have been staring on my computer, working non-stop and when I do take a break, the last thing that I have wanted to do was more typing.
No time to waste in the Williamson household after the holidays. It all begins on January 12th, Lexi's birthday. This year was a milestone for Lex... she turned 21! She also now has her own apartment and has just started back to class. After that comes Barry's birthday on the 14th of January. This year, we combined the two birthdays and celebrated with Rachel, Brad, Joey and Brant at a nice mexican dinner at Uncle Julios. It was so nice to get away from the house and enjoy a dinner out with our children and their signficant others. (Chelsea, we missed you and Russell dearly.)
Rachel and Brad took Barry to his favorite Indian restaurant for lunch on his birthday. Afterward, they took him to the place they met over in downtown Plano.
I really think the break from chemotherapy is helping Barry to gain a little of his strength back. He is taking a couple of new prescriptions to help with alertness and energy level. They may be helping a little, but nothing like what the doctor described should happen. I have full confidence in Barry's new doctor to find the perfect combination that will help Barry. Dr. Bennett is GREAT!
With each passing day, there seems to be a little improvement. It is those moments that we hold on to and pray each evening for more.
Time does seem to pass quickly, doesn't it. I am amazed that Barry gets to have a break from Temodar and I am glad that it is helping at least a little. Do I remember right, are you guys in Texas?? Have you heard of Dr. Burzinski? I have been looking into his methods and find them really interesting. Just wondering if you had heard of him.
