I often asked myself, why him? Why us? What did we do? Why can't it attack murderers, and rapist? Truth is...I don't have time to ask questions...only time to act. For cancer is not for the weak, it's for the strong...and the strong will SURVIVE!!!

St. Johns!!! :)

Here we are in St. Johns.  What a great time we had...or did we.  Of course we did, but Tony was getting sicker by the day.  He had no energy, everything he ate made him sick, and he was throwing up when we snorkeled.  When we got back to North Carolina, Tony could barley get out of bed.  His heart was acting funky, he couldn't stay awake, I started screaming at his doctors until someone would listen.

Tony's oncologist told me to bring him in the next day.  His nurse told me they had a bed waiting for him.  Good thing.  His doctor is listening to his heart and got a serious look on his face.  "C'mon Tony, lets go for a walk." and he walked Tony around the cancer floor.  After that walk he hooked him up to the heart monitor and Tony's pulse was in the 40s.  Normally, its in the 90's/100's.  Tony was admitted right away.

They scanned him from head to toe.  Atrophy of his organs from the radiation was apparent now, but no cancer!!! :)  His heart though...needed a fixin.' 

During all of this my 17 year old's knee got injured during the playoffs and he needed an MRI.  So while those results were coming in, Tony was in the hospital.

On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, Tony was discharged and we came home.  Enough time to get Tony settled, showered and off to the orthopedics for Alec's MRI results.  Guess who needs surgery???  Yep.  Alec had a 90% meniscus tear in his knee and surgery was scheduled for.......tomorrow.  Yep the very next day Alec had surgery.  So now I have big baby #1 and big baby #2 out for the count, and Thanksgiving dinner to cook.  Happy joy....NOT
