Visit to Houston

I just got back from Houston this morning and wanted to tell you all about our trip.  My brother Daniel and I flew out to Houston on Thursday night to visit Beau.  We had the best time!  We got to go with Beau and Jessica to M.D. Anderson on Friday so he could get blood work done and they took us on a tour so we could see where they have been spending a lot of their time.  We went to the mall and shopped for awhile to pass the time so traffic wouldn't be so bad on the way home.  Let me just tell you, traffic is terrible in Houston....ten times worse than Atlanta traffic.  We went out to eat, watched movies, Beau and Daniel went and hit golf balls...we had a blast and I am so glad we got to make the trip.  

The best thing about this trip for me was that I got to see that Beau is the same person he was before he left to go out there.  I'm not sure what I was expecting but aside from having no hair, he was exactly the same old Beau as always.  I think I was expecting him to be tired and possibly feel kind of sick while we were there but luckily he's been feeling great!  He continues to have a great attitude about everything and I'm so proud of him for that...

Thanks so much for all of the prayers that are being said for Beau...I know that is why he is handling this like he is.  He said many times that he can't wait to get back home and see everybody.  July will be here before we know it and he'll be back!

Here are a few of the pictures from our trip...

There are pictures like this all over M.D. Anderson of people that have beaten different kinds of cancers.  The man in this one has beaten Synovial Sarcoma :)

A bike cop rode up and told us we couldn't take pictures of Federal Buildings since 9/11 happened...obviously we weren't too worried about going to jail...

He also told us we couldn't get pictures of patients going into or out of the hospital because of HIPPA...ooops

Not too interested in shoe shopping...very interested in Brickbreaker
