Beachin'

We went down to Galveston today, which is about 30 minutes from our home. We rented an umbrella and chairs and spent a few hours enjoying the day. The water was as warm as a bath, which is my favorite kind of water, and in the shade with the breeze--it was nice. Iva was not able to swim because she still has her PICC line. We are looking forward to her having that out; now that she won't be getting chemo, she doesn't need it. And that will simplfy things greatly for her. She will be able to shower more easily. She will be able to swim with our kids in the local pool. She will be able to do her aquatherapy for her legs. And just the hassle of caring for it will be gone.

Simply--it was a good day.
