Starting with day 1 after ICU (and he still has his CAM boot).
The walker he first started with and took off down the hallway of the hospital at top speed!
The first time outside - we had to wait until his trachy was removed and he was so glad to feel the breeze on his skin and to hear the noises of the outside world.
The next pic is when he spoke to his bestie for the first time without the talking cap on his trachy. He was so happy!
Skinny legs in the shorts was the day we went and met the Radiology Oncologist.
A day out in the sun at Relay for Life - Ray managed 2 laps over 2 days and we were all so very proud of him.
Today inspecting his new car.
Life has gone on one day at a time, which is all we can do at the moment.
Ray is to have radiation daily for 6 weeks and after meeting with the Chemo Oncologist, it has been recommended that he have 2 doses of chemo. The chemo is not compulsory but they recommend it.
After having a hearing test and finding that his hearing is not as good in his left ear than his right, Ray has decided to have 1 dose of chemo and then see how he goes. The chemo that he's having could have an effect on his hearing so he will have another hearing test to make sure that it's stayed the same.
We have to call the hospital on Monday morning to see if there are any beds available for him to go in and have his chemo - he's also booked in to start radiation on Monday too.
Ray's physical and mental health are excellent and I'm sure both of these things will get him through the next 6 weeks.
Having the support and love of our family and friends has made this journey a little easier for us and for that we are eternally grateful.
