Day Two

Well Kurt drove himself to radiation again. He feels fine so far. He had been given a prescription to help stimulate his salivary glands because this whole process can really damage his mouth. He also got a new prescription today for a mouth rinse. There is another young guy who is farther along in the radiation process and he said this rinse is making a world of difference for him, so they want Kurt to try it too. I have bought gels, sprays, rinses, special toothpastes, all things dealing in extreme dry mouth. I hope this rinse will help him too.

In some lighter news, Bella has learned to ride her bike without training wheels. This whole process started last summer but she just wasn't comfortable doing it. Since the weather has been nicer, she has come home and rode her bike in a straight line to the the end of the driveway, turned herself around, then rode back. That was it. She didn't want to do anything else. A couple nights ago she got on her bike and rode all around the driveway. She even rode down our street to a flat spot and rode all around. You would think she has been doing it forever. She is so comical. She can't be rushed through anything. She has just decided she is ready. Now she wants to ride her bike to school. This whole "I'm six and I'm a big kid" thing is going to be a major pain!
