Our Hot Saturday

-

While Camden was doing this on Saturday . . .


. . . Rory was doing this.

Because of a game delay, we spent a very hot and humid 3+ hours at the ball park Saturday. Rory did so well until the last 30 minutes, and then she was done. The poor girl was so hot and sweaty (as was her mama!). Thank goodness one of the other mothers was better prepared than I was and had brought along sunscreen. I have one big patch on my arm that clearly missed out on the sunscreen and it's so painful. I think Rory turned 3 shades darker even with the 50 spf sunscreen. Brian was on dug-out duty and missed out on some of the heat, although dug-out duty is its own kind of torture.

After half of our day was spent with baseball, I thought the kids might be tired of being outdoors, but they came home, rested for a couple of hours, and then spent several hours playing in the shade.

She was not too thrilled that I had the camera out.
Brian decided to pull the bikes out and let the kids spruce them up.
Today is Camden's official last day of school. The last academic day was Thursday, but today is a field day and he is quite excited. His baseball schedule has been rearranged and the last 4 games of the season are all this week. This is Brian's last week of school, and he is crazy-busy finishing things up and dealing with 21 hyper-active 4th graders. With the exception of Thursday, we have something going on every single night (including Saturday) so the week promises to be a bit hectic.

There is nothing worse than dugout duty. It's like being pecked to death by chickens.

I'm so glad you said that about Rory turning three shades darker, even with the sunscreen... I feel like I slather S multiple times a day, and he's still getting darker!

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
