Well, we survived Disney! It was a wonderful trip, but as it goes with 2 young children, it was a lot of work and we were happy to be home. We had a really busy week last week. Troy had a few appointments. He had one with the ENT for his monthly visit and Dr. Riley said that he has one of the best looking throats around. He went to the dentist on Wednesday and Dr. Friedrich said that everything looked great. Troy doesn't have any cavities or damage from the radiation and his saliva is pretty productive. Troy feels like his mouth is pretty dry though. He also had to go to the hospital for blood tests on Thursday because he has his surgery tomorrow to remove his chemo port. Besides Troy's appointments, Derek had his skills testing Monday morning for his entrance to Kindergarten. He had an appointment on Tuesday to see the allergist. There isn't much to report except that Derek has a propensity to hives. They don't test for allergies to sorbitol and the doctor thinks it is highly unlikely that this is what his allergy is to. He wants him to take Zyrtec every night and Troy and I aren't so sure we want to do that so we are just waiting for the next allergic reaction. He has only had a few outbreaks in 5 years so we really don't think it warrants medicating him at this point. Derek also had his end of the year party on Thursday and his graduation on Friday. One of the pictures above is of him with his teachers, Miss Cassi and Miss Betsey. The other picture is Derek with 2 of his best friends, Alex and Gabriel. We are very proud of him. He has come a long way in this past year. He is more outgoing than he has been in the past and he has learned a lot at preschool academically. He is ready for Kindergarten!! Anyway, it has been a busy couple of weeks and now that summer is kicking in, we will be spending a lot of time at the pool and doing fun things around Atlanta. We'll keep you updated on all the happenings. We will let you know how Troy's surgery goes tomorrow as well. Thank you in advance to Marian and Torie, my friends and neighbors, for helping us out with the kids.

I love the family pic. Everyone looks so happy and that is my very favorite pic. Derek, the pic of you and Alex and Gabriel is my second favorite. Super pics everyone. Troy, make sure and let us know how you make out after the power port is removed. I know you will be tired from the anesthesia- just an I'm fine will suffice. In the family pic you look like the Troy we knew before last Aug. It is so wonderful to see you that way again. Yep, all of you will be doing the pool time thing now that summer is here. Hey, Main Squeeze- Do you think you can teach Ryan to swim this yr? I bet you can!!! Have you been out on Lizard alert Lately? Make sure and check in the corner where you keep your umbrella for the sandbox. Have fun at T-ball and let us know how Daddy is doing. Giagantic hugs and kisses to all of you- and my CAllieCat. I love and miss you a ton. Can't wait until you come to visit us. Love, Grams & Gramps xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
