Friday's Random List

-
We are enjoying another snow day (which makes for a 4-day weekend!). I'm not sure any of us made it out of our p.j.'s yesterday although I did manage to clean house (Brian did the bathrooms for me - woohoo!). Brian is off to the local coffeeshop to get some kid-free work time in and I plan to let Camden and Rory watch as many cartoons as they want. :) We might let them out to play this afternoon, but it's so cold that I don't think they'll last long.

Here are a few funny things from them both this week:
  • "Well, this was a shocking surprise" from Camden one morning after he brushed his teeth and got a bit of toothpaste in his eye.
  • "The moon is just following me everywhere" from a very indignant Rory on the way home from taking Camden to school one morning.
  • "Soooo, how do we get off of Jesus' lap in heaven?" from Camden at supper this week. This came out of nowhere and I can only guess that he saw a picture of kids in Jesus' lap??
  • Last night while watching the evening news (waiting to see if school was canceled), there was a guy being interviewed and he was kind of scruffy with long hair. Camden said, "Apparently, some men still wear their hair long like Indians." He doesn't get out much.
  • Rory very sweetly offered to let Camden pick the afternoon cartoon (this is an ongoing argument about who gets to pick) Wednesday, and I was so thrilled that she was being unselfish. Of course, when we got home and she realized that offering to let him pick meant that he was actually going to pick made for a very unhappy 3 year old. I guess she didn't quite get the concept.
  • Mothers of boys, how do you survive all the Star Wars and Wii talk? Honestly, Camden describes every single Wii game he plays in excruciating detail until I'm about to go out of my mind (only one of many reasons that he has very limited Wii time). Same with his imaginary Star Wars games and coloring pages. Have I mentioned he's never even seen Star Wars? Heaven help us all if he ever gets to watch the movies because we will NEVER hear the end of it.

This LO might win the award for cheesiest title, but I don't care. :)

Just hope that his Star Wars phase doesn't last as long as Logan's. I'm starting to worry that he's going to be living in my basement in his 40's and going to sci-fi conventions!

I had to laugh since I am reading this WHILE Sam is playing Lego Star Wars on the Wii. He's never seen the movie, either, yet we NEVER hear the end of it. If we ever get a break, I'll let you know that an end is in sight!

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
