Doing ok

Brody went to hospital on Friday for labs (which were good) and Chemo. No nausea and we were out of there in about 3 hours this time. Brody has continued to take a chemo drug (cyclophosmide) orally each day and has been doing good about taking it.... he doesn't like the taste but is used to it enough that it doesn't cause any anxiety anymore. He just toughs it out.

Brody doesn't have any IV chemo next Friday but is going in for labs and another CT to see how this chemo is working.

Boys started doing home school last Wednesday-- still adjusting to this-- they are very easily distracted and seem to think they can interrupt our schedule at any time "I'm hungry" -- they argue about some of the assignments and are making the school day take longer then it needs to be... need to get them motivated to finish.

Finally cooled off some- has been a very hot summer for northwest Ohio and August is usually pretty bad. Jaden and Geordi got bb guns in the last year from their grandpa (Trish's dad)-- not any good spots in out yard to shoot them though-- our neighbor's yard borders the woods and Trish when out with a saw and cut some of the branches out of the way so the boys had a clear line of sight out to the woods and then hung some targets from clothes line (a few milk jugs, powerade bottle, and an aluminum can)-- the boys spent about an hour shooting at them.

Brody isn't nearly as good with the real gun as he is at call of duty on the PS3.... but still had fun. Geordi was already a decent shot (he did some bb gun shooting in cubscouts). Jaden was having some problems at first with his "pump action" shotgun bb gun at first since it doesn't really have a sight on the barrel.  He did much better with Geordi's Red Ryder bb gun.

Other then that-- not a lot to report. We continue to focus on having fun as much as we can.
