North's Graduation Day!

Hi everyone! He/We MADE IT!!!
From May 3rd to June 23rd North made the journey five days per week (with MUCH help from many loved ones) to UCI for intense cancer treatment. Yesterday he "Graduated" with full honors!
We want to send out a big acknowledgement to all the health care workers at UCI who took such excellent care of North these past several weeks of treatment. These doctors and nurses exude genuine caring and compassion as they care for people with cancer day after day, year after year. North made quite an impression and several new friends! (In the infusion/chemo room - from left to right - Hillary, Elvie, Chantale, Gail, Maria and the North MAN!)

And, in the radiation department, Dr. Phan makes bubbles as North receives a graduation certificate for being an outstanding patient.



And my camera ran out of batteries before I could get a picture of the dynamic Sharon, the master of the machine. But here is an earlier photo of her as North began radiation.






So we are relieved to be on the other side of this part of the journey we were thrust into back in February when we got the diagnosis. Surgery and treatment were hard, no doubt about it. And we still have quite a long way to go. But we are hopeful and so very touched and healed by all the love we continue to feel, give and receive. Stay with us. We have big plans to not only heal North physically, but to share that healing (which is nothing more than the revealing of the Truth with a capital T!) with many others.
This is a journey of the body, heart and soul and as long as all who have been touched by it continue to open and venture deeper into the Truth of themselves and the sweetness of life, then it is all worth it. Because, I believe, even when it hurts real bad and seems to make no sense, Life is GOOD. And we are all blessed to be here.
Namaste' and HUGE HUGS!
