Dear friends, Chris is doing well. He seems to be handling the treatments so far. He does have 2 weeks to go with the direct high beam radiation. They are shooting in 9 different places for about 20 seconds each on the prostate. We had a great week end at OKC. It could have been better if we had won, but we're letting that go and looking to the NCAA tournament beginning on Sun. in Iowa City. We did get to spend some time with Ken and Brenda but Carlee was busy with practice. We spent sunday with my niece, Janet, and her family. They grilled for all of us, so we had a good quiet day. We stayed in our friends apt. It was a good place for Chris to rest when he needed it. He does get tired quickly. We have met a very nice couple at the hospital. He has cattle and she is a retired English teacher so we have a lot in common... We have been visiting at the hospital most days until sometimes 4:00, then we go eat and that is good for the moral... We don't know what to expect with this stronger treatment, but are praying that he makes it through as well as he has the other. The one doctor told us yesterday that he should be back to 90% within two weeks after treatment so we are going to look into scheduling his knee surgery after that...Keep us in your prayers and we'll do likewise for you..love to all Colleen
