Staci and I met Connor today to hear from him and his mom about his journey. Here is Connor story:

On January 23rd 2007, at only 6 weeks of age, Connor's mom, Mindy took him to the hospital because he was not feeling well. The doctors told Mindy that Connor needed care at a hospital. After a being rushed to the hospital, a scan revealed a tumor in his head the size of an adult fist and surgery was needed.

A Chaplin from the hospital came and baptized Connor right there before my surgery in case the outcome was dire. Connors surgery lasted 4 and a half hours.

On January 26th, 2007 while at the University of Minnesota Children's Hospital, Fairview Connor was diagnosed with a rare and deadly disease, Infantile Congenital Glioblastoma Multiforme Stage 4, an aggressive form of brain cancer. "It was so scary, there was a lot of praying and wishing and hoping," said Mindy Dykes, Connor's mother. Those prayers, along with aggressive treatment, have given Connor a fighting chance.

Since then Connor has been thru 5 rounds of chemotherapy. Doctors said Connor could handle higher doses of chemotherapy, because children are more resilient than adults. "The strength he's had through his treatment, I wouldn't have 10 percent of," said David Dykes, Connor's father.

He also had a bone marrow transplant. Connor was the youngest person to have marrow harvested at the University of Minnesota.

So far the only permanent side effects Connor has experienced is partial blindness in his right eye and some hearing.

David and Mindy feel blessed Connor is doing so well, but know there's a chance the tumor could come back. Connor's doctors said with each day that passes the chance of the cancer coming back decrease. He is such a good little boy. Staci and I wish him well. Conners story will be featured this year on the KS95 for Kids radiothon. Learn more at ks95forkids.com

One of our listeners has! Here's a picture of Melonie and (at the time) Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas.  She was very active in politics, and Clinton came to stump for a congressional candidate that she was campaigning for. He was only a governor at the time, but he seemed really cool so she got her picture taken with him and chatted a bit. But no, despite his reputation it never went beyond that. She says that she also had Vice President Dan Quayle stick his tongue out at her, but that's another story...

There's a program that you can add to your children's/spouse's cell phone that actually logs their texts and sends them to you so you can find out what's going on. It's called TextGuard. TextGuard blocks unwanted texts, monitors all incoming and outgoing messages and archives texts on a secured server for future retrieval.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

 BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a change! The chicken wanted change!
 JOHN MCCAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he  recognized the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.
 HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified toensure right from Day One that every chicken in this country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this really isn't about me.
 GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. Thechicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
 : Where's my gun?
 COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
 BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What is your definition of road?
 AL GORE: I invented the chicken.
 JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
 AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need more black chickens.
 DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of the road before it goesafter the problem on the other side of the road. What we need to do is  help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new problems.
 OPRAH: Well, I understand that this chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
 ANDERSON COOPER: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.
 NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
 PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
 MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No bird gave me any insider information about crossing.
 DR. SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
 ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.
 JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth? That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you may become gay, also. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that theliberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side.' That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
 GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why a chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
 BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heartwarming story of how it had experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing the road.
 ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
 JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens crossing roads together.
 BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken 2008, which will not only cross roads, but will integrate with those that lay eggs. Henhouse Explorer is an integral part of eChicken 2008. This new platform is much more stable than previous versions.
 ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road pass beneath the chicken?
LONEL SANDERS: Which way did he go?
