The last 13 days flew by so fast! It was so nice to have Clint home for a little while. We had such a great time hanging out with family and friends. And he even got to go golfing a few times! More than anything we loved being able to just hang out with our boys (although I am pretty surprised, and happy, that they didn't get Clint sick). The boys miss their dad so much and it was so nice for them to have him at home. Just being able to put them to bed at night was so nice! We are so lucky that we have such amazing kids!
So yesterday was the big day.....we moved back into the hospital. We got here about 9:30 am and they took him down for his first radiation treatment at 11:00. We have decided that radiation is a lot worse than chemo! He felt okay for a little while but as the day went on he started getting more and more nauseous. He wasn't able to keep anything down last night, but he was able to eat breakfast and a little lunch without any puking today so that's good. He is just glad that he only has 4 days of radiation left.
I got some pictures today of him all ready to get his radiation. It is such a crazy setup! I don't know who came up with this, but I guess they know what they're doing.
He's so happy to be there!
They have crutch things under your arms and a bicycle seat to sit on just in case you get really tired during the treatment.
Pretty crazy huh? It just better be doing it's job!!!
Hopefully things will go as planned and Clint's body will cooperate and we can get rid of this leukemia! Just an FYI we are in East 812 now, it's right next door to where we were before but it's a bigger room with a better view! (can't complain about that) If you want to come visit I'm sure Clint would love it, just make sure you're SUPER healthy. And you might want to call ahead just to make sure he's feeling alright.
I want to thank everyone again for all you are doing for us! The power of prayer is definitely real and we have felt so much comfort from all the prayers coming our way!
On a side note...Chris will be home 2 weeks from today! Yeah! Mom did you make the boys do the 14 day dance today? :) Love you!

Thinking about you both, Amy, and sending hugs and prayers your way! Let me know if you need anything. I'd be happy to drop off some food or something on my way to PCMC.
Clint & Amy,
So sorry you have to go through all this - but you guys are so strong! Hang in there, and let me know if there is anything we can do. Tons of hugs and prayers coming your way...
