HOLY SNOW!!

We had our appt in Chicago today. Of course, we left at 0430 during the biggest snow storm this year, driving a rear wheel drive trail blazer, sliding sideways down the freeway. (completely serious too by the way) and Ryan yelling out-"#*#*@ *^#*&@^ we are going home!!" We made the 35 mile commute in 2 hours, but safely. Did I also mention I despise the toll roads- how can these people sleep at night charging you so much? $3 here $2.50 there .75 everywhere-and then paying for parking at the hospital-we couldn't believe it. (WE LOVE IDAHO HAHAHA!!)

We are officially transfered to University of Chicago. next Thursday we go again for Dr appt, blood draw and his IGF Therapy Infusion. They said that it will take most of the day on his infusion days which will be every other Thursday. He will have a scan on February 10th to determine if the treatment is working, and we are shooting to head home that weekend after the scan.

We are increasing his chemo again tomorrow, since he is tolerating it so well. This will be the second time in a week. So far he is doing better than expected(as he always does :-)

As always, we miss you all so much. The snow is gorgeous here and we are hoping to take the boys sledding tomorrow. I will try to get some pictures posted soon!
