Happy New Year

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and happy holidays.  The holidays wrapped for us without any incidents, some good laughs, and even a few good movies.

Dad kicked off the new year feeling pretty well.  He's now off of the Ritalyn (for now) - thinking that he's healing up and it is no longer needed to keep him awake during the days.  He keeps getting his strength back more and more each day, which is great to see.  This month's dose of Chemo starts again tomorrow for five days - hoping he does well with it.

We are going to seek out a volunteer job or something to help him pass the time at home.  He has pretty much exhausted the rolodex of people he knows to call and check in, so it's time he puts that energy to a good cause.  :)

He officially has a plane ticket to Portland for March - something to look forward to on the calendar, a change of scenery, and perhaps a change of weather for the better (one never knows in Portland).  Definitely looking forward to that visit with Mom and Dad for about 10 days!

Stay warm!  And here's looking to 2009 to being better than 2008!
