Lots of pictures

-
Yesterday was a pretty good day, although Rory was up by 7:00 and then only took about a 1.5 hour nap - on me. She's now decided that she does not want to be laid down after she's asleep, which means that I'm not getting a little break when she naps. I'm going to just enjoy it, though. There's nothing better than a sleeping baby, and I'm sure it won't last long.

Camden's teacher stopped by to see us yesterday. Camden was so excited to see her. She brought a sweet little dress for Rory and some candy and a ball and bat for him - couldn't have picked out a better present for him! And Rory didn't scream once while she was here!

The teachers at Brian's school had a shower for him (in a manly sort of way) yesterday. It was so sweet. They collected money and then made up a big Easter basket with a sweet lamb and full of Easter eggs (the money was in the eggs) with a big bow on top. It was adorable! They also made an Easter basket for Camden with a TON of fun things for him, as well as gave Rory a Calin Yang doll, which is my absolute favorite Asian doll. She is much, much prettier in person than on the picture, and I just love her! We also got a really sweet Gymboree dress for Rory. Wasn't that just so thoughtful of them! Brian is lucky to work with such a great group of people.

I think we may be getting on a schedule. Rory has gotten up at 6:45 the last two mornings. She took one nap yesterday (which is what I'm aiming for) and she went to bed at 8:00 (which is the earliest by far!). Oh, and I've introduced her to the joys of Cheerios. They're healthy, and they give me a moment's peace while she eats them for a snack!

I've got quite a few pictures to share, so enjoy.

Camden and his basket from the teachers
Rory and her doll (not too happy about having her picture taken)

Kisses from me!


Still very little make-up and hair barely fixed, but it's better than no make-up and a pony tail!

Same for Camden
Monday night we actually read a book together in Camden's bed

Yay for a better day!! The photos are darling!! You look great! I saw your comment on Violet's shoes. Funny thing, They are asian! I got them at a resale shop along with some squeaky shoes. I cannot find them anywhere online or anything. I did find squeaky shoes online for about $15 if you are interested. All proceeds go to Orphanages too! The two sites I know of are

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
