You'll never guess what we saw today. We got here (the infusion room at the Huntsman) this morning and sat down in our normal spots waiting for the normal day to start. Then I spot a policeman out of the corner of my eye. There is a somewhat private room where some patients can go to get treatment if they are especially sick or something that prevents them from being in the big room with everyone else. Dan and I immediately noticed that the police was just sitting in the doorway. I thought that maybe his mom was sick, but Dan knew right away. Then I saw another policeman and they looked like they were on duty! I read their badge... "Department of corrections".... that's right, they were harboring a fugitive!!!
Okay, not that cool, but they WERE escorting a convict. So cool. We watched them walk out, he was wearing white jail garb with a big number stamped on it and had his hands cuffed around his waist. Hey, even people paying their debt to society can get cancer. Anyone can :) Anyway, I hope that's not one of those things that you had to be there to think was cool. It was just out of the ordinary.Another exciting happening in our life is we bought tickets to...
AH! I'm so excited I can barely stand it. We have been talking about a vacation ever since Dan was diagnosed 14 months ago, and it's actually happening! Dan and I are notorious for having big plans and dreaming, but this one is actually happening. We're lucky to have our friends the Monahans and Magelssens to visit... it's going to be great. It will be the perfect way to celebrate a new, HEALTHY chapter in our life.Dan's doctors gave us some GREAT news. The last scans showed that the spots on his lungs are stable. That's really great news, and probably means they are dead. We're so blessed. We have seen so many miracles. I know that we are being taken care of.
I'm trying to be better at updating this thing. Everyone else keeps current with theirs and I love it, so I'll try harder.
Aloha

Haha! The convict thing is awesome. You should have asked to take pictures with the cops...or convict! We are sooooo excited for you and your trip to Hawaii! What a perfect way to celebrate. You two deserve it! You're going to have some awesome tans
Hawaii?! No way! That sounds like a blast. And great news about the lung metastases! I can't wait for your next trip back to Kansas so that maybe we can actually have a little time to hang out. I'm always thinking of the two of you.
Danielle = Dani McCaulley. :)
ohh, ALOHA! I am so dang excited about your trip. You have to swim with dolphins! I will live my wish through you!
You did not tell me about the lung scans! That is good news! You are always in our prayers we love you so much!
It's a relief to hear things are going so well with this last round of chemo treatment.
I am so jealous that you are going to Hawaii. I might want to just sit here and be angry at you for going before me...but in actuality, I think you guys probably deserve a lot more than a trip to Hawaii after what you have been through. Just go hit Europe right after while you're at it. :)
ah second to last!!! that's wonderful! Mel, in my dream last night you had these really chunky highlights in your hair. it was so cute!!
