Our Weekend

-
As I look back on the weekend, I can hardly remember most of it so apparently it was not that exciting! I did take Camden to see Horton Hairy Who (a.k.a. Horton Hears a Who) on Saturday afternoon during Rory's nap. We had lots of fun, and that is one seriously cute movie! I think I've mentioned here that Camden is having some issues dealing with a new baby sister so we've tried to give him some extra attention. Well, we had so much fun on our little "date" but as soon as it was time to come home, he got very sad and was just a brat (is it politically correct to call your child a brat?) the rest of the day. Not sure if he was sad it was over so quickly or what was going on.

I'm quite exhausted from our Sunday. I remember how difficult it used to be when Camden was small to get all of us out the door dressed and ready, and it's just as hard now that there are 2! Rory and I were in the nursery for Sunday School and church, and that job is not for wimps! Lots and lots of toddlers who may or may not be happy to be there! I stayed for a baby shower after church. Then back to church for the evening service (we lasted all of 20 minutes before I headed home with her). Rory did take a 3 hour nap yesterday afternoon, but we paid for it last night. She was very restless and woke up lots and ended up in our bed at midnight, which is quite a bit earlier than usual. Hopefully she'll nap well today.

It's supposed to rain every single day this week so I guess we won't be taking too many walks. Maybe the weather forecasters will be wrong.

Here are two pages I scrapped on Friday.

great pages and glad you got to spend a little time with Camden by yourself. It is a hard change for everyone when a new child joins the family and I am sure he enjoyed his time with just you. I need to do this with Hannah and Tre' more right now since Emma has arrived. I am so busy taking care of her that I forget to take the extra time with them. Have a great day!

Love the pages! We took the kids to see that on Easter weekend and we loved it. It is such a good movie. Camden will eventually come around and get through this adjustment. Just keep spending a little extra one on one time with him when you can! I hope they are wrong about the weather too!! Hope you have a great day!

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

Scenes from the Soccer Field

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
