al rastrello...

...italian for "to rake". i think we should change our street name from GREEN street to AL RASTRELLO street.

tim had a good day yesterday-he got to spend some time at the pepsi plant and sat in on some stuff again...it really makes him tired, but i think it is good for him. not only do we have to build up his stamina physically but we also have to work on his mental stamina as well. he is starting to try and read more and that has been helping. it is totally unbelievable what that major dose of chemo can do to a body. he needs to start playing cards and board games and stuff like that. (i might actually be able to beat him at cards now).

now that the port is out and has healed he is allowed to start to exercise as tolerated. we are looking at different gyms...he can't be outside because it is so cold. the kids have put their request in for a gym with a pool so i think we are going to run by the friendship center and check it out. i find it hard to believe that someone would want to pay so much money to torture themselves!! family fitness...this is going to be fun!!! (pray for me...)

well, have to get the kiddos moving. we have a kinda free day today-i think the weather is supposed to be nice-hopefully i can get him outside for a bit today. we make another drop in the steroids today-hopefully we will get through this drop without incident.

take care and thanks for checking in.

tim and tammy
