Our Journey Through Time

This weekend has been really quiet in terms of going and doing. I think the most eventful thing we did was grocery shopping! We did get in the car on Sunday just to get out of the apartment and drove around the immediate area we are in. It reminds me of TCU area with the awesome homes, neat shops and restaurants. It reminded us of a place that my parents would really dig! The kids enjoyed getting out and taking a look around too. We saw a HUGE mosaic armadillo that Brady was really excited about, in fact we had to turn around and see it a second time!


We have been trying to help the kiddo get acclamated to this new setting and I think they might finally be getting to a more comfortable place. Angelina is like me, she can sleep anywhere, but Cirstyn and Brady are a bit different. Brady has been getting up at around 5 am every morning so Larry has been getting up with him on the mornings that he won't go back to sleep. By nature Larry is a morning person, me - not so much! I make sure he gets a nap in sooner than later so he catches up on sleep. Cirstyn has figured out how to climb out of the pack-n-play we have her sleeping in.

Tomorrow we have to take Brady in to see the radiation doctor for his weekly appointment before he starts his actual radiation therapy on Wednesday. It's been a week and a half and it seems like we really just got here. There have been so many appointments and assessments, doing all the preliminary "stuff" to get this underway and now it's almost here. I have to admit that Larry and I are both nervous about the radiation therapy starting. I mean it's unavoidable, it has to be done, but what it brings with it is uncertain. Brady will more than likely loose his hair at the radiation site. It may or may not grow back and if it does it will take time. Superficial, I know, but Brady will be aware of that. Will it bring about behavior changes, learning difficulties, or hormonal damage? I just really dislike the uncertainty of it all. We've been at the point where we couldn't see the future for Brady and Angelina before, but that resolved and with acceptance came peace and more certainty. Now here we are again at the threshhold of uncertainty of our child's future again. I know it's only been almost a month since this all started but I'm ready to get back to seeing a future for our child in my mind's eye.

Anyway, Larry took Brady today to get a hair cut so that we could see his pertinent area better and he looks really cute! That was the big even this morning. Let's hope the rest of the week is that uneventful!
