Ring theBell Ring! Radiation is DONE!







Larry ringing the bell after his last radiation treatment


I hope everyone had a great holiday and your New Year is off to a good start! We had a great holiday together in Chicago. Santa spoiled us as usual and so did my mom - great food drinks and the most beautiful Christmas tree with all of our family ornaments hanging in their precise place.

Shortly after Christmas, Larry was back in the hospital with a nasty infection. Very high fever and a ton of pain. In Larry fashion he was discharged and was ready to go back to work and start his radiation treatments. He was little frustrated because his company wouldn't let him go back to work without a note from his doctor. It took over a week but he is finally working and very happy about it.

Radiation is also complete! YAY! Larry did three intense targeted treatments and is now done. The treatments were a couple minutes long with little to no side effects! He did have some pain in the area but nothing a little morphine couldn't handle. The doctor was very happy with the results!!  

Next on his treatment plan is an MRI in 2 months to see if there is any new activity on the spine. Until then his goal is to stay infection free, gain much needed weight and enjoy a big family and friend get together in Chicago in February.

As always, thank you to everyone for your support. We are so grateful to have so many people supporting not only my brother but my entire family.

Sox it to it Lar...
