Traffic is running very fast and smooth. We are just north of Atlanta and we are shooting to run straight down 75 through the city and be south of the airport before 3 PM and beat the traffic jams. Once we are south of Atlanta, it smooth sailing. It is five hours to home from here.. V Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. We just crossed the Ohio River out of Cinncinatti into Kentucky. So far everything is moving well and we have switched drivers. Lisa will drive through Kentucky and Tennessee and I will drive again when we cross into Georgia. V Sign in to see full entry.

We are home after a last dinner with Lisa's family. It was a nice night to be out and the smile on their faces was something else. I am going to call it a night and I hope to be up and out the door by 4 AM. We should be able to miss the afternoon rush in Cincinnati and the evening rush in Atlanta.... Sign in to see full entry.
I made it back from the hospital in one piece, but before we go out for the last dinner together with family for this trip, I am going to take a nap. I'm feeling alright, but even these radiation treatments come at a physical cost. I hope to make one more post late tonight, but then we will be on... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm heading in for what I hope will be my last radiation treatment. The hospital here in Lansing is less than a mile away, so I am hoping to be home by 1 to 1:30 this afternoon. We want to leave for Florida at about 4 in the morning, but we are taking the family out for an early dinner. Aunt Helen... Sign in to see full entry.

Good afternoon. While the locals are kvetching about the temps at 84, I see it is 93 in our hometown. Things continue to go well here. Lisa's aunt Helen isn't making a lot of improvement, but that is about what we had expected would happen. Her speech is somewhat improved, but you have to listen to... Sign in to see full entry.

We decided to *go out on the town* tonight. We went to a nice restaurant for dinner. I should have taken a picture, but Lisa borrowed a nice dress from a cousin, and she was oh, so beautiful in it! I'm a sap sometimes, but tonight, every time I looked at her, my eyes got misty. It was a long,... Sign in to see full entry.
Despite the circumstances, this has been a good trip. Aunt Helen is home and she is holding her own for now. Her speech is somewhat garbled, but Lisa has been with her and is 'working with her' without her realizing she is being treated. We were going to stay in a hotel not far away, but her family...

Whew. I just pulled into Lansing after a five-hour, twenty-five-minute drive from Newberry. I left about five this morning and dodged a few deer, some kind of large 'cat,' and a bear before I hit the bridge. Life in the UP... I miss it some days. I'm going to grab breakfast with the wife and then... Sign in to see full entry.

I have left Lisa in Lansing to be with her family for a day. I am headed to the UP to see a few people and pick up some things we left at our house up there. She seems to be handling things well, and I can see a spark of happiness in her when she is talking with them. We all need that now and again.... Sign in to see full entry.
