Put Her on the Injured List

-
So we all know the dangers of trampolines, right? And, yes, we all usually ignore that whole warning from your pediatrician to never buy one. We bought one last summer, and the kids have spent an inordinate amount of time on that thing. Best. Purchase. Ever.

Well, until yesterday when they decided to not zip up the enclosure, play while they were supposed to be cleaning up and Rory went flying right on through the the not-zipped enclosure. She grazed her cheek on the pole on the way out, landed flat on her back, but is just fine. Thank heavens.

Unfortunately (and not because of this incident) we're going to have to sell the trampoline because I'm pretty sure there's not a truck big enough (or a husband with enough patience to box it back up) to move it to Texas. Shhhh, because we haven't told the kids yet.

I am so sorry she got hurt. Glad it was only a little scrape. Let me know if ya'll sell it because we may be interested in it. We have thought about getting one for the kids.

just make sure you set that money aside to re-buy it in Texas!! =) I know I know easier said than done!
Well I'm sure they are better off than when we were kids and there was no such thing as a netting! (I spent a huge amount of time on my friends and "the boys" that hung out w/ us constantly were always jumping off the roof onto the trampoline (and yes they flew numerous times into the trees around the trampoline!)
So glad Rory is ok!

I'm so glad she's okay! I've thought that our kids would love one but am a little chicken about making the purchase.

I'm so glad she's ok!!! Whew! I think a trampoline would be an amazing addition to our household (for my sanity alone). Unfortunately, in these parts, it's almost impossible to find homeowner's insurance then!

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
