The view of Beautiful, snow capped, Mt. Baldy from Patrick's room
Great day today! I can't believe Patrick's conditioning is almost complete. I'm so proud of him. He's doing so well!
Patrick's room is about 1/4 mile's walk from the radiation clinic. Porters come, armed with a wheel chair, to take him back and forth to his appointments. Well, today, Patrick decided he'd like to walk. So he did. He walked back and forth to all of his treatments. Porters following along behind him, pushing an empty wheel chair. That's our Patrick!
His radiation treatments are a full body exposure of about 15 minutes per session. He has to stand perfectly still during the treatments. Special, custom made, shields are used to protect his lungs. Yesterday and today, in addition to his full body treatments, he received targeted, depth specific, radiation to treat his ribcage (front and back).
Now it's time for turkey and stuffed potato dinner, washed down with a little Modern Marvels on The History Channel.
Buenas noches!
Patrick, could you not think of a better way to seek attention? Honestly!!! I am going to have to hop on a germ tube and fly out there myself. When I do, I will bring a new gay bottle of rum!! I know you are smiling. You listen to me.....you are surrounded by friends and family there, I am sure. Please know there are a trillion little people like me who love you too and are praying for a speedy recovery for you. XOXO Joanie

What a beatiful view to inspire you! I am so glad to hear that you are not letting the treatments and disease beat you down. Do not give up on your independence. Go with small goals and you will achieve more and more each day. Go Patrick! You are an inspiration! You are in my thoughts everyday. Have a wonderful weekend. XOXO Robyn
