Chemo went as expected.

All went well today, first off Jesse had an appointment to get chemo thru his access port at Nortons, the straight over to Kosairs for a lumbar puncture/chemo and then went down stairs to get a brain MRI. it was slower than usual at Nortons, we didn't get over to Kosairs until 11:00am. everything with the chemo went good. we were able to stay on the 7th floor OMO until the LL/MRI staff was ready for us, meaning Jesse got to stay in bed until they were ready for him, then we went to the lower level to get his MRI, after that we stopped at Arby's on the way home and got it to go. Jesse is resting in bed now. he will remain there for most of the week and possibly the weekend. as noted before, the less he does, the better off he is for the pain.

Now, Day 2 of his Make A Wish Vacation.

It started off with us getting an early start from the motel,(after eating breakfast) driving straight thru to Branson. when we went to check in, they told us the room wasn't ready yet for us to look around and go have lunch. after returning we went to our cabin. after unpacking, we lounged around for awhile, then Jesse and I went fishing down at the boat docks. didn't have much luck that day, but it did change for the good the third day...

Day 3 Make A Wish Vacation.

It got off to a great start early, we were at Dogwood canyon at 8:30am ready to do a 4hour guided trout tour. we meet Keith Oxby, trout guide. he said he wanted to do something special for Jesse, so he gave us a tour of the whole park. we got to see,elk,bison,deer,turkey,etc. and he showed us the cabin the Johnny Morris stays in when he visits.(owner,founder bass pro) after a drive thru the park in his jeep, we stopped at an area that was posted "No Fishing".. Keith said the area was called glory hole. it was a area of the stream that was real wide and had a waterfall. Keith also told us that there was only 1 person to ever fish there, former president George Bush!! then he ask Jesse if he wanted to fish there, and of coarse he did so!! Jesse is pretty excited about that fact, so please ask him about it sometime.. After fishing the glory hole we went on to fishing up and down the stream catching many trout.. and when the tour was about to end, Keith wanted to teach Jesse how to fly fish.. that was very interesting!!LOL!!! but he got the hang of it and was able to land a huge trout. after the fishing tour we went on back to the cabin for some rest and lunch.

After getting our bellies full and resting a bit, we were scheduled a trip to see the Titanic Museum. when we checked in there we were told that we was going to get the VIP treatment with a guide. our guide knew everything about the Titanic, including peoples names, where they were from and why they were on the boat, it was an amazing trip. I would like to tell about it all but I will leave it up to Jesse for your all's next conversation.. after our visit there we went on to eat dinner at Montana Mike,s steak house and then we drove around checking huge city of Branson out. Thanks for visiting..
