Tuesday's Tidbits

-
While "fixing" my hair last week, Rory told my (fictional) mom that she thought I should go with something a little more modest.

Last Sunday our temps were in the low 40's with severe thunderstorm warnings, hail, and a whole lot of rain. Despite the weather conditions, Camden's baseball coach did not cancel practice. Needless to say, we did not send Camden. Why, yes, they do take baseball serious around here.

 Do your kids play with nerf guns? Camden has many nerf guns of all shapes and sizes, and he is currently on a nerf gun kick. As in, he sneaks around the house then jumps out, scares the living daylights out of everyone, then shoots. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. It might have been fun the first couple of days. Several weeks in, and it is just plain annoying. Boys.

The kids are on spring break this week, and this is our first day alone (Brian took off yesterday so he could have one day with the kids). Camden has asked repeatedly for a written schedule of our day (something we used to do when he was home all day prior to starting school), so I obliged. He is so my kid.

I have alot of pictures/events to go through before I blog about Easter weekend, but expect that post soon.

In the meantime, here is a little series I took Saturday at the egg hunt. I didn't know exactly what was happening or I would have snapped alot more!

Three things about these pictures.

1. Uncle Michael is a big favorite around our house.
2. Can you believe how high my girl is?
3. It was just as dark, gray, cold, and muddy outside as these pics look.

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
