AIM II Days 13 & 14

We had a good weekend at the Trombley family reunion. It was very nice catching up with all the relatives that made the effort to attend. It would have been nice to see a few more faces there but it was great fun nonetheless. It was a challenge for Shelley and I to try to balance visiting and spending with family versus trying to make sure we were not overdoing it with Nathan.

Nathan handled the days fairly well. Saturday he got a little overtired and not feeling well and so he had to have a rest throughout supper. That turned into him not really coming out of G&G's trailer until it was time to back to Lisa's to sleep. Sunday Nathan did much better. He even went swimming for the first time in 10 months or so. He really enjoyed swimming and really enjoyed "the girls" that took him swimming. They were distant cousins Skylar and Whitney and Nathan talked about them non-stop on Monday.

Not only did Nathan get to go swimming but he came golfing with us on Saturday and drove the cart by himself. He was pretty stoked about that. Carter skipped golfing to play in the horseballs tournament, and he and my cousin Twyla made it to the A finals before the rain ended the tournament. Carter is pretty sure they would have won the whole thing!

Sunday we participated in a golf tournament to support Leukemia and Lymphoma that was being hosted by a friend, Bill Gowan. Bill put on an excellent event, he had over 100 golfers and everything went very smooth. The weather wasn't perfect but it was good enough. The prizes were great and the supper was wonderful. Great job Bill!

I will get some pictures up from the reunion some time this week. Nathan has no treatments this week however the treatments from last week were supposed to take 7-10 days to kick his blood counts so by the end of this week I imagine his counts will be pretty low. He did guarantee me though that he was going to ride his bike tomorrow.

Lastly, quite a few of you know that Shelley and I have signed up a slopitch team to play in a fundraising tournament for breast cancer. Please consider sponsoring Shelley or Arron. This is another very worthwhile cause.
