Guess what!!! We are in Dallas!!! Brian has been doing very very well and when we went in for the last blood test in Houston they said there was no need for him to have any more appointments before he starts chemo again on Monday. We were surprised since we are typically at the hospital every other day for something, and we hadn't expected to come home again until June. But the drs seemed to be fine with it and just wanted us to have one blood test while we were here and be ready to come back early if anything happens. So we are excited to be in town through Sunday when we have to drive back. We didn't tell anyone that we were coming home since we didn't want to jinx it, and it has been really fun surprising everyone.
So far our trip has been great!! We were able to go out to dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday, surprise our church hometeam by showing up for bible study last night, and we have several other things planned for the remaining days we are here. It really hasn't been a restful trip at all since we are so limited on time and there are so many things we want to do and so many people to see. I have been able to go into the office to work this week and have really enjoyed being back and seeing everyone. Everyone has been so supportive and it's really nice to catch up after 4 months of not being there. We were also able to get Allie back for the week and have enjoyed having her around again.
We don't have any new news about Brian's progress, but we are soo happy to be home this week and rest and relax with our friends and family. This was totally God's work with the way everything was laid out for us and how smoothly everything has gone. We are so blessed to know there is a higher power watching over us and leading us where we need to go.

This is a great birthday present for Gary. Do hope you all won't over do yourselves this weekend, and do try to get some rest. Enjoy yourselves, and do hope your trip back to Houston will be a very safe one. Hope all will go well on Monday. Have a great weekend, and God Bless Ya'll. Love ya'll!

Hi, Brian and Amanda,
I am Doris Edmonds' sister-in-law who is in apartment 442; we met you when Jerry was putting in the DSL and visited with you a couple of weeks ago when Brian was going in for another treatment.
Doris sent me your blog address today and I enjoyed catching up with your progress today. What a fun time for you to get to go home and surprise lots of people! We thought it was really quiet over by the entrance (Just kidding!).
I am doing really well, so be sure to call on us if we can ever do anything to help you. (Our phone number is on my blog.) We'll be here for another month, I think, finishing up radiation treatments.
