Great news!

Bob had a great day yesterday. He was able to get out into his shop. He checked the air pressure in his truck tires, fixed a small problem in the air compressor and just enjoyed being out there again. Today we are planning a walk out to check out the garden. He hasn't seen it since July 9. We are also planning a trip to Dairy Queen!

Other news:

Radiation will begin this Thursday (8/14). Bob's daughter-in-law, Jessica, will drive him the first day and I will meet them there. (I have to work this week T-Th.) I can take him on Friday. Jess will probably take him on Monday. Co-workers and friends from church have volunteered to take him when we can't so I will be setting up a calendar to get things organized.

Bob's sister, Linda, and nephew, Ryan, will be arriving from Minnesota next weekend. Jess and I will both be back at work so they will help with meals and meds and whatever else they can.

Tim and Jess and Bob's parents are our neighbors and check in frequently. Tim is taking care of the lawn and is really enjoying his dad's lawn tractor! Jess has been at my side during the past 6 weeks. She has been a godsend! My brother and his wife were here last week. They parked their 5th wheel out back. Jerry fished almost every day and gave us a good supply. Joann made dinner for us each evening and that was a real treat! We do appreciate all the calls, cards and prayers! What a blessing to have friends and family who are so willing to help!
