Week Three

Hey Ya'll,

Today is a good day! Earl had a good checkup yesterday with his chemo DR and today met with Dr. Harper (rad DR) and she said she was VERY pleased at how well the tumor is shrinking. He is having a minor sore throat but still eating and drinking pretty good. We are in our third week of radiation. By Friday we will only have four weeks left. Whew~ We had a fantastic weekend. Earl actually played golf Saturday with his friend Jeff, and shot even par. He was worn out by the evening but he was so happy. Olivia had her 13th birthday party with 10 of her closest friends and her cuz Madison. It was a nice evening. Earl's brothers and his sis-in- law, Sunny came up Sunday for a visit, we had lunch together and just spent the day visiting. Ain't nothin like family. School starts tomorrow for Olivia, it will be her last year at Summerville Catholic, she has been there 10 years (since K-4) I remember her first day she was crying and I couldn't get her out the car. Time flies! Drew starts college next week. He is looking for an apartment, I can't even talk about it without tearing up. I wish I could keep him around the house a little longer. Mom's never wanna let go. Anyway, Thank you for your prayers, they are working! Earl is doing so well and I am so thankful. Love you all! Donna
