A baby brother

-
Well, yesterday turned out to be fairly exciting, although not in the way you might wish! Rory started the day off by discovering the ice and water dispensers on the refrigerator and soaked two outfits. I've been waiting for her to find these, and am actually surprised it took her this long! She fell off the couch and banged her head; followed by a slip in the kitchen, and slammed her finger in the drawer (that she wasn't supposed to be in). Then she decided that swallowing a plastic marble would be a good idea (this was in retaliation to my playing a game with Camden). Did I mention this all happened before 9:00 a.m.?

Ever since shortly after Rory came home, Camden has been wishing for a baby brother. Earlier this week he told me that his daddy said when he gets $20 in his wallet, he could start thinking about a baby brother. Yesterday, he drew a picture of our family on the sidewalk and included an extra person "because I'm going to have a baby brother." Last night, he prayed for a baby brother "cause I really want one."

Ummm.... Kensi prayed for two years for a little sister because she "didn't want any more stinky brothers." She finally got her wish!! These little people apparently have direct lines to God's baby department so BEWARE!!!!

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
