I don’t know where to start with this.. Hi everyone.. That’s always a good starting line. Earlier today, Amandas mom called and said that her grannie wanted to take us out to dinner. I was a bit hesitant, considering I was suppose to coach Kobies first t-ball game tonight. But family is always first. So …

More MD appointments
Josh had two doctor appointments on Friday. His first appointment was with Dr. Schertz. His second appointment was with Dr. Buck. Since Dr. Buck’s appointment went better I will begin with that. His head is healing well; his hair will start to grow back very slowly. Since the radiation kills the hair at the root …
Congratulations, Robert Stone!
Robert Stone, is one of my nurses at Roanoke Memorial on 10 south. He’s one of the greatest nurses on that floor. When I first started “living” at the hospital basically, it was a tremendous change for both Amanda and I. Robert was my first night shift nurse there. He took such good care of …
Just your average update
I figured I was due for an update! I have been doing a little better. I still stay fatigued all of the time, and the more tired I get, the worse I get. You can tell when I am tired because I am not myself. I was hoping to go back to work today, but …

I figured it was time for an update since everyone has been messaging me asking what the doctors have said. First, I want to apologize on Amanda’s behalf, that she didn’t post an update. She’s been very busy with going to school full time, working full time, taking me back and forth to Roanoke, and …

Radiation is a little over 25% complete
Hey everybody! First of all, I just want to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day! It’s a nice day outside to be spending time with your loved ones and just enjoy the day together. A lot of people have asked me when I was going to return to work, and right now I don’t know. …
2 radiations treatments down, 18 to go!
Today was Joshs second radiation treatment. I got to go in and see them get him ready for it. It was quite interesting. The room is huge and very relaxing, it has a sky light and a foundation with flowers. I got to see Joshs mesh cast thing for his head and watched them put …
