Can you believe it? This is my 1000th blog! Lots to reflect back on...lots of water (or in this case cars)have gone under the bridge since I wrote my first blog back in January of 2009. I'm glad that we are on the side of the bridge that we are now rather than the side we were on back in 2009. Tonight's picture was taken on the Blueridge Parkway on our fourth trip to the National Institutes of Health in 2010. We will be heading back to NIH (Bethesda, MD) in a couple of weeks for Woody's next scans and meetings with his team of doctors and find out the current status of his melanoma tumors. The trip that is coming up will be our 13th trip to NIH since the end of April in 2010...eight trips in 2010 and so far four this year with our fifth trip coming up the first week of October. Then, when you add in all the trips to and from Vanderbilt prior to the NIH trips, we have been on the road a lot since we began this melanoma "trip" back in November 2008. I started blogging shortly after Woody had his first appointment with Dr. Sossman (head of the melanoma department at Vanderbilt ) on Dec. 26, 2008. I started blogging once treatment decisions started being made in January of 2009. This seemed the best way to keep family and friends up to date on Woody's treatments and how he was responding to treatments. So.........here we are 1000 updates later!Woody got up early and went on a six-mile walk. We both went to the early service at church and then to our Sunday School classes. Woody taught his class. We came home and took it easy this afternoon. Woody has just gotten home from the evening church service. My treat for the day...Erin called and filled me in on her college happenings. It was good to talk to her! And...that's the summary of our day for this my 1000th blog!
