Phase II - Complete!!

It seem as though it was just yesterday we walked into RadCu for the very first time. Today was the 31st - and last - day of radiation for James! The past six weeks - like most summers - has been nothing short of a blur. Although we are very, very happy that JT will not have any more treatments, I think I speak for all of us when I say that there is a part of us which is sad that tomorrow we won't be making the trek to the basement and seeing all the friends we've made over the last two months.

I'd like to list, individually, each one of you who has cared for JT during the treatments but for fear that I'd leave someone out, I won't. You all know who you are - nurses, anesthesiologists & the radiation therapy group, and a special visitor from MRI . From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for all you did and for all you do for everyone who walks or rolls through your automated doors! For anyone out there who happens to visit the kind folks in the basement off of Bramhall Street, trust me, you are in the best of hands.

That said, today's mood was a little lighter than the normal therapy days. On JT's last day he was presented with a new light saber, Darth Vader mask and costume, Star Wars Legos, 2 balloons and chocolate munchkins.....Thank you so very much.....Below are a few candid shots of the morning.

So, for now we'll wrap up the last couple of weeks of antibiotic infusions, begin first grade, get an MRI, maybe see some Blue Angels in the sky or hit a fair, get vision and hearing tests and soak in a bit of warm late summer sun. Then we'll hit the ground running on September 29th when JT is admitted back to big house for his first full regimen of chemotherapy.

JT's Crew around Darth JT before his last therapy. Thank you again and again and again. We owe you more than we could ever possibly repay.

Dr. Ted and Nurse Red put JT under for the 31st and last time.
