Each child in our daughter’s 3rd grade class wrote a get well card for Amos today.  We laughed and cried at these adorable sentiments.  I am continuously amazed at the kindness of people around us.

Amos is doing better with some nutrition in his system.  His doctor said he needed to stay on the soft diet (no fruits, veggies or whole wheat, seeds etc) but he needs to use protien drinks to get as much protein as possible before the surgery.  He is still doing Dr Hoy’s Longevity shakes and started Ensure shakes as well as the surgeon recommended.

We love having so many family members here.  Such a blast.  I’m so glad they can be here before the surgery.  Amos has just Monday and Wednesday left at work until his 30 day medical leave.  Tuesday is his day off and he will be spending it at the hospital getting marked for the surgery, taking a class on wound care and getting a CT scan of his chest to make sure the cancer hasn’t spread there.

P.S.  We found out our smoke detector works.  Thanks Paije. 🙂
