Don't Worry, We Are Really Fine

If we can just keep Jon from getting this terrible throwing up disease that is careening all around us (but not coming into the house... yet), we will be totally fine. Jon is truly getting stronger and better. His ankles are still swollen and his PCP just doubled the dose of Lasix, saying that he has pounds of fluid in his feet and ankles, but no one knows why. Cancer can do weird things.

The off-season has begun, and the pace is mellow and slow. Jon has resumed his role as dinner cook. Tonight he made an especially deluxe dinner (Chinese) because Alissa is home for a few days, and Andrew came to see us all in our natural habitat.  Then Benjamin's family dropped by and the level of exuberance just about doubled.

We have regained our balance. We only felt off-kilter that afternoon when they told us to go home. Now we have the newest plan and all we have to do is stay healthy. 

To reassure you that we are doing fine, I offer this documentation of the chaotic dinner table tonight.
