"Kick it For Arde"

     I think we got through those 2 bad weeks post radiation/chemo!  Yesterday Warren woke up feeling good!  I was shocked to hear him say those words.  He had a really rought two weeks so he deserved a good day!  He's still not doing solid foods but that's coming.  He's hungry and really wants to eat he's just got to ease back into that.  He still has pain but it's not nearly as bad so I think this week we will start wheening him from the pain meds a little.
     My best friend, Julie, and Warren's friend, Kris Reiman, put together a soccer benefit for Warren yesterday called "Kick it for Arde".  Along with a lot of our other friends and family who worked it and helped make it a success.  (Thanks to Patrick Wadsworth, Robert, Angie, Melody & Garret Waldrop, Candice and Braxton Clifton, Steve Huckaby, Scotty Barnes and Newks for donating water and food and all of he Referees who donated their time!!!  And thanks to all of those who signed up and participated by playing and coaching!!!  I know there are otheres that played a part and just know that we appreciate it so much!!!)  It was a 3v3 tournament (for those non-soccer fans out there that means 3 against 3) for all ages and it was a great day!  There were over 50 teams that came out and participated and they seemed to have a great time.  Again, how overwhelming to see that many people come out and support Warren and our family!  As I was walking out the door to run up to the fields for a little while Warren said he was going to go.  What???  I couldn't believe it.  He hasn't been able to make it out of the house other than a quick ride to the doctor or once to the bank.  I'm not sure what happened overnight but yesterday was a REALLY good day for him.  He went out to the fields and stayed for several hours, watching games and talking to friends and all the kiddos.  It was so nice to see him feeling that good!

     This morning is a little different story.  He's not feeling that great.  He's having issues (side effects) from some of the medications and he's pretty much in agony.  Hopefully, we'll get this resolved in a little while and he'll be on the mends!  I do think it's going to be a much better week and I'm really excited about that!
