~ It is good to be past uncharted waters. ~

10/11
After a rough day yesterday, Jordy is much improved today. Yesterday he dealt with some nausea and pain in his foot. The nausea is a little better and his foot seems quite a bit better. I am taking him to meet Kevin and Kyle in Halsey. Kevin is doing some farm work, and Kyle and Jordy are going to do some target shooting. Jordy will sit in a chair since his balance is not quite good enough for firearm use! It is wonderful to have a weekend of great (but cold) weather while we are home.

Speaking of cold . . . Kevin and Kyle installed a pellet stove while Jordy and I were gone this week. The wood stove is nice when we are home more, but the pellets will be nice this winter.

Since Jordy’s surgery is over, we are into a new phase of treatment. There should not be anything new. He has had the various chemo medications, the surgery is over, now just more chemo and physical therapy. It is good to be past the uncharted waters. As the doctors left yesterday, Jordy said that it was nice to be back. Then he caught himself . . . is it really “nice” to be in an oncology unit? It is good to be accomplishing the goal of getting through the treatment, and the people that we have met are wonderful, so it was “nice” to be back. That said, it is WONDERFUL to be home!

Next weekend Kyle should be heading to Chicago and onto Indianapolis for the National FFA Convention where he will receive his American Degree. This has been a goal of his since he was a little guy. He better take lots of pictures!

Kevin is working hard, but he too is seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for some of his projects.

Enjoy these last few sunny fall days . . . we will do the same.
