Escaping

We escaped from the Hospital today. Connor is scheduled for several pre-treatment procedures on Monday and Tuesday including: MRI, CT, Spinal tap (to see if there are any cancer cells in his spine), Port Placement, and a hearing test.

With his Radiation/Chemo starting on the 19th we decided it would be best to provide him with a few days of rest, so we left Therapy a few days early. Rest assured he will be getting plenty of home "Therapy" which includes tickles, hugs and kisses.

The first thing he wanted to do was get something to eat, unfortunately he hasn't had much of an appetite in the hospital.

The Dr. who released us caught us off guard today. He asked us where we were from. We usually get the same response "Where is Scappoose?", but today the Dr. played air banjo while humming the theme music to Deliverance. He told us he had friends "Out there.." that they "Shoot Guns off their front porch" and "have bats living in their play structure". He MUST have the wrong place, that must be a different Scappoose.

The best part of the day: Arriving back home
What I'm looking forward to tonight: Sleeping in my own bed

  1. Missy, Greg and Connor, we truly appreciate Connor's blog page. Some people look forward to their morning paper or the evening news, we can't wait to read what today held for you guys. I really like the ending "good thing that happened today" part. We talk every day to friends/family here in Minnesota about you and there are many positive thoughts and MANY prayers being sent your way. We love you all so much, Grandma Connie & Grandpa Byrle
