This was a great weekend with Aidan in particular, our 6 year-old son. First, he loves to color as you might know if you are a regular reader. I put this slideshow together last July showing some of the drawings he made – just looking at life through a 6 year-old’s eyes. Anyway, he made the most thoughtful and tear-jerking card for me this weekend. Just click on the thumbnail to load the card:
On Sunday, I took Aidan to his first NBA Game – the Sixers vs. the Sacramento Kings. We are LA Laker fans all the way! I have been since I was a kid so I’m making sure he will be! But we didn’t care much - he’s never been and it was a total suprise – he didn’t know where we were going until we got there. My company has season tickets and I was able to to get a pair for this game – and the seats are amazing so this will be a great memory for us:

And finally here’s the tickets, just so they are archived here always:

What a great weekend! I was actually feeling better too – no seizures and I had more energy. My weight is still an issue though. I just don’t feel like eating so I’m doing a lot of protein shakes and smoothies (berries and so forth). I’ve gone from 175 or so to 160/165 or so. I’ll be talking to my doctor about this soon.
That’s all for now…








I loved the card from Aiden. It brought tears to my eyes. I am glad you had such a wonderful father son outing. I am new to this nightmare of brain cancer. I was diagnosed with a large GBM Jan 27/09, surgery Feb 5th whereby it was debulked but certainly not entirely removed and i am currently mid treatment (rads and temodar). I have read most of your story since 07. I am keenly interested in trying anything to stay here with my family. I am interested in the vaccine and sure hope they can get organized and get going with it for you. I live in Canada and we are certainly not as progressive with treatments here.
Take care
