The photo is of Steve, Julie, Annie and Abbie all clowning around with Marc. Seeing the grandchildren brought out a smile from Marc that I haven't seen in many days. It was good to see him smile.The progress has slowed, leaving both Marc and I quite discouraged. Marc is not able to speak more than one or two words and then can't come up with what he wants to say. Communication is difficult at best. We are continuing to go to speech therapy and have an appointment with the neurologist on 12/30 to see if there is anything we can do to try to improve things. Marc has finished 4 radiation treatments so far and seems to tolerate them well. He has lost his appetite and I'm not sure if that is from the chemo or the radiation. He doesn't have a lot of energy and feels really tired all the time but we were told that would happen with the radiation treatments, so it was expected. We have 2 more treatments this week and then they are closed Thursday and Friday for Christmas, so we willl start back again on Monday.
I'll post more after Christmas. Merry Christmas to all!

I'm also glad that you are a stubborn old man :) I know you will beat this.
Merry Christmas

Had a wonderful Christmas in Kansas, helped Neal celebrate his birthday and enjoyed playing the piano with Jimmy I mean James as he wants to be called but he said Aunt Silly could call him Jimmy. We played the piano together and sang Christmas carols. We had fun, don't know if any other they others enjoyed our singing. Wish you all could have been with us. Kids are what make life fun. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and that the new year is especially kind to you all next year. Our prayers and thoughts are with you always. Love to all Doug & Silly
