about 24 hours to go...

and i think tim is going to count each one down. he has really been a trooper thru this whole ordeal the last couple of weeks. all headaches are gone and now he feels pretty good other than a nagging backache (but he hasn't been up and around too much lately so i guess that should be expected).

his spirits are up a bit and he is really trying not to dwell on the future, but enjoy the day. today we visit with his father, watch some billards on TV and go and watch kelsey play softball later on this afternoon.

we have pre-registered for our admission today which i am assuming means that our insurance must have approved the procedure...this is a good thing. his first chemo is scheduled to start at 4pm tuesday so i believe that we are to be at the hospital between 1-2pm. i think we are both just ready to get in there and get this whole process started. keep praying that we can get him in and out in record time...the average length of hospital stay is between 24-28 days without any complications. 26 days will bring him home on my birthday-i think that is his secret goal.

thanks for checking in-

tim and tammy
