Initial Jacksonville Visit

We finally have a date to go down to Jacksonville for Tucker's initial appointment.  He was approved by the Proton Center AND our insurance company so we have a green light to proceed. YAY.  We will be traveling next Thursday night because his appointments start early Friday morning.  We will meet his radiologist and nurse that will be working with Tucker when we come back for his treatment.  They will also be doing an MRI and CT Scan to help plan his radiation.  They will put him to sleep for both of these procedures through his port so at least no IVs this time.  This appointment is just to prepare for his treatment and get the measurements and information they need to give him the best personalized care possible.  We will return on Sunday and work until they call us to come back down for the 6 weeks.  They anticipate there being about a 2 week time frame in between when we go down next weekend and them being ready for us to come stay for the long haul.  We are so thankful this process if finally moving forward.
