SCANS NEXT WEEK!

Journal

Tuesday, July 13, 2010

Greg has been home studying all summer. This Friday he takes his MCATS. He is also finishing up his applications for med school.

Next week he will have his next scheduled scans. Greg requested that we put them off until after his exams this week. They were due in June, but Greg didn't feel that he could concentrate on studying if the scans showed any indication of the return of his cancer. So, we agreed. It's made it harder on his father and I, worried about him all summer, but we've managed. He seems fine. Eating well and putting on a few pounds by working out.

The other excitement this summer has been in getting Matt ready to start college! After a whirlwind tour of all his options.......Matt is headed to Vanderbilt University in Tennessee. He's already packing, even though he isn't going for another month.

So, when Greg returns to Miami and Matt heads to Nashville, Ira and I will officially be Empty-Nesters. Where does the time go?
