We're Back

WE are back from Hawaii, and we are back at MD Anderson.  As I speak Bennie is getting his CT Scan completed, and I am in the waiting room listening to a lady play a harp.  It sounds like a funeral in here.  I don't want to sound rude, but I have been awake since 5am.... and I am going to lose consciousness with all this tranquility.  Tomorrow morning we will go to the Dr. and see what she has to say about the next step.  Unfortunately, we already kind of know his last treatment didn't work.  His tumor is about twice the size it was when we first started here.  So we are going in to tomorrows appointment with the probability of discussing the "Plan B."  Once we hear what that is we can plan for the future.  We have no idea right now what that is.  Praying that the treatment option provided will work, and doesn't have an impact on his quality of life.  We had a great time in Hawaii.  Bennie felt really good, and we got to do so much.  The kids were absolutely perfect, and pretty much did everything that we wanted to do.  We couldn't have asked for a better time.  We were so worried about the sun affecting Bennie, but it was pretty much cloudy everyday.  God took care of the sun for us!  We saw lava, went four wheeling, snorkeled, whale watched, rode a submarine, and just enjoyed every second of being together that we could.  Right now we just live day to day, and take every day that Bennie feels good with as much joy as possible.  We will be looking forward to celebrating Emmi's 6th Birthday this Saturday, as well as celebrating Easter!  Well I guess I will try and stay alert.... the people turned off the lights in the section I am sitting in, and the harp player has a play list of about 40 songs.  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
