Random Friday

-
Random bits and pieces from this week:
  • After studying himself in the mirror several minutes, Camden informed me that his beard is starting to come in.
  • Rory has taken to plugging her ears when I am talking to her; usually when she's in trouble. Can I just say that it would have never crossed Camden's mind to do this. Girls are certainly more devious than boys.
  • Camden and Rory are both bossy and tattletales. I am constantly saying, "Camden/Rory, worry about yourself. I'll worry about Rory/Camden." Last night at supper as I said this for probably the 703rd time, Rory piped up and said, "Daddy worry about you?"
  • Rory is becoming more and more interested in choosing her own clothes. Much to my dismay, she chooses jeans every time. Fortunately, she's not too upset (yet) when I veto them.
  • Camden did a good job last night at the baseball game. I can't believe how much they all seemed to have improved between last weekend and last night. He had two great hits and one strike-out. And the team had a double play - Camden caught the ball and tagged the runner out at first, then threw it to 3rd base and got that runner out!
  • I've always known this, but Target is d.a.n.g.e.r.o.u.s. to your bank account. There is just so much good stuff there. And I've been twice this week.
  • I was awake last night from 2:30 until about 5:30. You can imagine my mood this morning.

The weekend consists of baseball practice this morning, a Good Friday service tonight; Saturday is lunch at the Seoul Garden with other adoptive families tomorrow, an afternoon baseball game; Sunday is an Easter service in the morning, egg hunt after church followed by lunch at Gram and Gramp's house.

Some pictures from last night.

Do you think she was ready to go home? Unfortunately for her,
this was only the beginning of our 2.5 hour baseball experience last night.

Yes, she was telling me what to do.

The huddle after the game.

Camden and his friend Dawson (whose team killed us last night).

Let me know if Seoul Garden is good! I'm looking for good Korean food. ;) I've heard Korea House is good too, but can't talk Jason into going. Can't you see an adult walking in with his McDonalds bag?!?! LOL

Happy Easter - have a great and blessed weekend!!

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
