Tuesday's Tidbits

-
"I don't think she's going to know the answers. She's, like, only 26." This would be from Camden after I mentioned he might want to ask his teacher a specific question.

"Mommy! You karate kidded me!" from Rory after I snuck up behind her and gave her a little kick on the hiney.

Brian and I choose to keep the TV off while the kids are up, even the news because they are both much too attentive. The exceptions are usually The Food Network or football. Well, last night I had turned on The Sing-Off (which is pretty family friendly) and Rory immediately struck their exact pose and started singing along Baby, Baby by Justin Bieber. It is uncanny how observant she is.

I mentioned on FB yesterday that I'd found writing on the bathroom tile. Camden admitted he was writing a message to the "commander of his metal army." It said "I MS U." Apparently, the commander had died in battle. Seriously such a boy. Because he immediately told the truth when we asked, we gave no punishment other than cleaning up the floor and a very serious warning as to what would happen if he did it again.

And remember the toothpaste? Camden finally told us how it gets everywhere, including the ceiling. He's trying to clean his toothbrush and it gets on his fingers so he flicks it off. Well, that makes sense, doesn't it.

And Happy Birthday, Brian! Rory and I are bringing him lunch today and I'm making his favorite meal and a pound cake (also his favorite) for dessert.

Happy Birthday to Brian! Hope he enjoys his day!

After living with an almost 6 year old boy, I totally believe the "toothpaste flicking" thing. : )

Hey! You solved the mystery of the toothpaste! Now you can sleep, right? :) I hope Camden knows the error of his ways now...
And I am SO relieved that, even at his age, Camden fesses up to a crime. Please tell me that kids never outgrow that!

Hi Melissa,

I can just picture cute Rory singing and dancing. Rory might like this video "Nobody" by a Korean Group "Wonder Girls". It's catch tune and a simple and cute dance routine was very popular with not only Korean but other Asian kids. Here is the link to the Youtube.

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
