Home again, home again!

Here's our tripometer after yesterday and today's travels...so multiply that by two and you will have our round trip for this time. We had an uneventful day of travel. We left at 6:45am Eastern time and arrived home about 1:30pm central time. So we traveled almost 8 hours today. We found out that it is just about pitch black at almost 7am in Salem, VA at this time of year. We had a time of very light sprinkles which produced a beautiful rainbow. Upon entering our house we heard a voice...it was Nathan. He was over at our house getting some containers...they had made us supper and were going to put it in our containers so we wouldn't have to return theirs. Nathan headed home with the containers and not long after the whole family appeared. Each of the children had helped in making our supper...well, Elijah had mainly sampled the cheese! They stayed and played for a little while. A little after they went home Woody and I went for a walk...around our block and into the next neighborhood and around one of the blocks in that neighborhood. We sat on the front porch for a little while after we got back from our walk.

We did get an email from Dr. Rosati. She said that the total shrinkage of Woody's tumors was 33%. That is going back to the scans before his treatment and comparing them to the scans he had this time. So last month they had shrunk 22% and this time an additional 11%. She said, "Great news!"

It's good to be home!
