Halfway

Today marks the halfway point with Justin's radiation treatments. He is thrilled.

The patients can take their own music in the cancer center when they get their treatments (otherwise they have to listen to piped-in elevator music--not his type!). Justin has made friends with the staff and has been taking some really weird stuff in there, just to make them laugh. He has an amazing collection of all types of music, some just for weirdness. He actually has CD of William Shatner of Star Trek! So each day the radiation staff await his choice for the day. They always get a good laugh, or at least a surprise. It helps him pass the time in a fun way.

Today Justin got a card from his Grandma Jo. She sends him a lot of things and he really enjoys getting something in the mailbox. While we were sitting in the dining room eating lunch, a staff member brought a box in for him--it was flowers and encouragement from my friend Kelly Jo! I arranged them and Justin decided to leave them in the dining room where everyone could enjoy them. They smell wonderful and everyone is enjoying the fresh flowers.

Thanks Mom and Kelly Jo for the encouragement, and thanks friends for your thoughts and prayers!
