On to Radiation

We made it through the hurricane safe and sound. We still have not gotten power back but we have a generator so we have a limited amount of power in the house. The storm was pretty exciting to watch. Ben and I woke up around 2:30am and the wind was crazy. We just watched the trees outside the window swaying and getting wiped around by the wind. We woke up again around 5:30am and we could barely see the trees through the rain. The morning after the hurricane we observed all the damage. The street we are on took a lot of damage. a bunch of trees had fallen on houses and power lines were down everywhere hanging across the roads. Yesterday the tree guys came out and removed two of the fallen trees on our property. It was amazing to see the guys work. One of the trees was leaning against another tree and could only be reached by a crane. Last night Ben started his chemo treatment. It is a pill that he takes every night along with an anti-nausea medicine. Right now as I am writing be is beginning his radiation treatment. It will be interesting to see how all that goes. Ben is doing really well and has been using his cane to get around. He even is going up and down stairs everyday. Even though we have not had power the last couple of days it has been great just to spend the time together as a family. Just yesterday Raider began eating rice cereal and he loves it. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as Ben begins his treatments and please pray that we get power back soon.
