Schools

We had wonderful news this morning! We've been working on paperwork for switching Camden's daycare since we're moving next week. The Christian school that he will be attending next year when he starts kindergarten has a great 3 year old and K-4 program, but there were no openings so we were going to put him on the K-4 waiting list, enroll him in our 2nd choice preschool and hope for the best. When Brian went to register this morning to get on the waiting list, they told him that Camden has a spot for K-4 and if we can hold off until May 29, he'll have a spot in the preschool. We're so excited about that! I was really dreading having him switch schools twice, and I'm so happy that he won't have to switch now, for K-4 or for kindergarten!

Here are a few Camden funnies for you. He's picked up the phrase, "Oh, Lord" (said with a big southern drawl). He says he learned it from Mater. We try to hide our giggles as we tell him it would be better to say something else. He also has become a big Ninja Turtle fan thanks to the McDonald's Happy Meal toys and a little friend at school who is apparently obsessed. He runs around the housing (using his wonderful martial arts skills) yelling, "Rock On!" Over the weekend, he noticed a commercial that had cute puppies on it and turned to us and said, "maybe we could get a puppy instead of my baby."

This is my one, lonely layout from the weekend. I am seriously getting no scrapping time these days! It's an old picture - he had only been home for about 3 weeks. Look at his cute chubby legs. He was just too adorable for words! I can remember being so in love with him (and still am, of course), but we were seriously captivated those early days!

The Scoop

Our meeting with Dr. W today was fine. Not encouraging, but fine. I don't know why I expected better news, but I think it's hard not to hope that the bad news you hear is somehow wrong; that they've somehow made a mistake. Basically, the cancer is still the same as prior to chemo. Possibly a little larger, but he said it was hard to tell. He was glad that it had not returned to my bowel or colon (because that was a large part of my initial surgery), and my chest and lungs are still clear (apparently, this is the next place the cancer would go). It does not change my stage of cancer (still 3c), and remission is still a possibility, but he said that it would be very tough to get there.  There are several more drugs that we can try, which is good, but unfortunately they each have a success rate of only 25%. It's a little too early to be considering clinical trials because hospitals who hold the trials like for the patients to have tried the more main-stream drugs firs

1. Thanks to Andrea for driving me to chemo today. I'm always a little anxious on the way in and the very few times I've had to drive myself, it's been a little lonely coming home. But not today. 2. A fellow chemo patient today thought I was in my 20's. Score.  ("score" would be a term I'm borrowing from Becky ) 3. I did not wear a scarf today to chemo, and all the nurses and doctors did a double take since they didn't recognize me. So wierd. I recognize me with hair, bald, and with a little puppy fluff. 4. Dr. W. is adding Avastin , a new drug which will help prevent cancer cells from growing, to my current Gemzar routine. Good news is that it won't make me feel any worse. Bad news is that in a small percentage of patients it causes severe side effects involving blood clots, kidney failure, ulcers, and holes in your bowel. Good times. 5. I've been instructed to head directly to my primary care doctor for blood pressure medic

So I may not have apologized yesterday about the number of pictures, but I am definitely going to today. Because  coughcough thirty coughcough just might be excessive. And probably my family will be the only ones who look at all of them. But I don't care. :) By the way, we completely lost and did not even score a goal yet again. Rory tried really, really hard. This team was head and shoulders bigger than we are, way more coordinated than 4 year olds should be and their coach kept their A team in the entire game. Even after scoring some 15 goals. Oh, well. Rory still enjoyed herself. Which way is the goal again? Notice her position in this picture. Notice how she passed the girl next to her? No, I am not competitive at all. Not sure where the other team is. Oh, wait. There they are. See how much bigger they are? You'll notice she almost always runs with her mouth open. Either that or her tongue hang
