Roger's youngest daughter is not good at updates this month

Sorry all for the lack of updates.  Wrapping up a busy quarter for work (and planning for a trip to Eastern Europe and India) seems to take up a bit of time. :)

Dad is doing well.  Treatments are done, he was off steroids for nearly a week (back on them yesterday after some side effects caused by some increased swelling), but overall doing well.  He goes in for his first of many MRI scans October 21st, which will give us the baseline for all future MRI's.  Dr. Hsu tells us that the radiation will continue to work for up to two years, so MRI scans will likely be done every three months during that time to measure progress.

He will also find out in October about his ability to get back his driver's license.  He's anxious to get some independence back as I'm sure you can imagine.

I'm out for close to three weeks, but will be back in Omaha for the scan the last week in October.  In the mean time, keep up your emails and phone calls, and Dad doesn't seem to ever turn down the opportunity for a breakfast or lunch date.
