Shaun's top 5

Shaun has been doing AWESOME with this no iodine diet, but the cravings are kicking in. He has his top 5 foods for when he gets the chance to eat "real" foods again.

1. big glass of milk with cookies

2.double bacon cheese burger from Big Jud's

3.Pizza

4. cold cereal

5. all things breakfast: bacon, eggs (with yokes) sausage, and hash browns.

Guess I'll be making a lot of food runs to my parents house while he lives with them!

Low Iodine Diet

Shaun had a chest and head CT September 29 to see if the cancer had spread to any of those areas. Which thank goodness it hadn't. With that clean we have started him on a no/low iodine diet. No dairy, egg yokes, soy products, red die #3, rice, potatoes with skin, and to assume anything that says sodium had iodine in it. We have become HUGE label readers, and I have been cooking and baking a lot. I make him special bread, that actually taste pretty good, and he has to have hormone free meats, Only beef and chicken. No seafood, cause of the salts, and no pork.

He will hopefully start the radiation the second week of November. He will move in with my mom and dad, thanks to them for offering!! The kids and I can't be around him, but after day 3 healthy adults can be 9 feet away from him, but it has to be restricted. The radiation will take 11-14 days, we'll find out more when we get closer to it.

His scare is healing nicely from the 2 surgeries, and has okay energy bursts now and than. He is doing awesome with all of this, I think at times it's harder on me than on him. Than again that could be a male/female thing!
