Poison Control

-
Well, my evening included Esther study at church, some peanut butter pie, and my first ever call to poison control (completely unrelated to the pie, by the way). Six phone calls and one hour later it was determined that Rory was completely fine. Nothing like a little excitement to end your day.

Today's agenda includes cleaning the house (again) and Camden's baseball game tonight. Did I mention that he got demoted from 1st base? I'm not completely surprised that he didn't get his position back after we missed four games while in Illinois, but the coach didn't arrive to the game until late on Tuesday and didn't have time to explain so his feelings were hurt. We built up how important 2nd base is (totally lying because it's completely boring on 2nd base) and he was just fine.

A few things about the kids this week:
  • Rory is into everything all of a sudden. In the last two days I've caught her with my coffee cup (full of coffee), she poured my water bottle down her shirt, she climbed and got into Camden's toothpaste, and she opened up my make-up. Does it seem like we should be putting things out of reach?
  • Camden is seriously missing his cousins, Uncle Matt, and Grandpa. Somehow wrestling with his 2 year old sister is not quite the same.
  • When I told Rory to put down my eyedrops last night, she said, "I just reading them, bossy."
  • Camden wrote the following sentence earlier this week in church: "Rory dsit let me lat bcs nymore." In case you can't interpret a sentence by a non-kindergartner, let me help you. "Rory doesn't let me look at books anymore."
  • Rory has just amazed me with this whole potty training thing. After spending only a couple of weeks in transition, she was completely trained. It's been 6 weeks now with nothing but big girl "unawear" and there has only been one day time accident and one night-time accident. Pretty good, right?

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
