Curl Update

-
My list for today:
  • As we were checking out at the bookstore yesterday, Rory hugged my leg, looked up at me, and said, "you're the best mommy ever." I almost blubbered like a baby.
  • I am in full on cleaning/organizational/purging mode. The kids and Brian better lock their stuff away. I'm just saying.
  • We've been working (hard) on Camden's attitude. Let's be honest: he's more than a little moody and needs some attitude adjustment. I can't handle attitude every time I ask him to brush his teeth, blow his nose, or set the table, etc. We've got alot of years left before he can decide how often he's going to do those things, and I refuse to live with a child who complains constantly. Anyway, he's been doing better (after lots and lots of talks, rewards, punishments) and the other day I overheard him mutter under his breath as he put up a sticker on his reward chart, "take THAT, devil!"
Because of the aforementioned purging/cleaning thing going on, it's a short list this week. :)


Our second attempt at curls.

This is her "you better listen to me" look.

How did you not start sobbing in the middle of the store?! I would have! Oh Camden, just when I think you can't possibly come up with a better one-liner - you do!

I thought of you - there is an article in Adoptive Families about styling Asian hair! :) I thought I'd save it a few years until Sumner's hair grows in. LOL

Would you come help with my house next? Everytime I try to sneak something out, it magically appears again.....hmmmmm.....LOL

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
