our weekend

Just got back from a hot weekend in Las Vegas for the truck race.  Got there and had the chance to upgrade to a 1Bdrm Jacuzzi suite which we took advantage of as this trip may be our last bit of fun for awhile.  Good thing we did as Cheryl got a nasty cold and Jeff didn't do so well in the heat so he was up and down alot and could lay on the couch.  (See attached pics--sorry about the quality; a cell phone camera can only do so much).  Another good race and good time spent with friends (nice to finally meet you, Michelle!!).  $30 well spent--look at these digs!!!!!!

Told Paige tonite about Jeff; she took it exceptionally well.  Lots of tears from all, a couple of questions, but amazingly calm.  Amazed at how resilient they are.  She didn't ask if he was gonna die; just what we had to do to get him better and how long it would take.  Explained Tuesday's procedure; helps that she has a good friend Bodie (shout out to the Carey's) who has a Portacath and she doesn't see him as a sick kid at all.  Just a "little brother" that she can torment.

Want to take this chance before things get too crazy to let you all know that we appreciate all your wishes, prayers, offers of help, etc more than you can know.  Know that we are logging each of them away and will take as many of you up on them as the need arises.  Probably won't post again until after the Portacath placement unless something comes up.

Jeff, Cheryl and finally Paige
