Proof

-
If you have a tonsil/adenoid removal scheduled in 24 hours, don't read this blog post. Just FYI. I am sufficiently terrified.

Okay, on to the proof part.

Camden has a thing for red these days. In particular, this one red striped school shirt. Last week, he wore it on Tuesday. Then he came down in it again on Thursday, and because I'm super on top of this kind of thing (ha!), I thought it looked familiar but when he told me he hadn't worn it yet that week I believed him. I mean, he wears it every week as soon as it's washed, not to mention the other 2 similar red shirts that he also wears every week so it's not like it totally stood out to me.

UNTIL I uploaded pictures from my camera and found the pictures below (from Tuesday) and the hot chocolate pictures . . . from Thursday.

And since I do laundry on Mondays and I know what my boy does with his clothes when he takes them off, this means that on Thursday he wore a shirt that had spent the last 48 hours at the bottom of his closet.

I'm sure this is only the beginning of his wearing dirty clothes to school.

Seriously, when did this kid get so big? He drives me a little nuts sometimes, and I feel like I don't know the best way to parent him alot of the time. But then I look at moments like this, and I think, he's still just my baby.

And this one is completely blurry, and I just don't care.

You weren't kidding about that horror story link! But, let me say, I had Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty surgery as an adult (which included adenoid and tonsil removal) and my experience was nothing like the one in the link. So, it may not be the norm at all. Praying for you to experience little pain and discomfort and major calm and peace!

Yes, peace, as your friend, Nettie said. We just prayed for exactly that moments ago. The Lord's got you covered!
And about the shirt thing--one of your uncles, name withheld, and perhaps your mom may not remember this, but he washed his favorite pair of jeans each night so he could wear them every day, to high school! All, unnoticed by me.
Where was I? Maybe checking out your mom's wardrobe, being the only girl among three brothers. lol Life! It's fun looking back!

That is funny. I was horrified this week to hear William tell me that after showering at night, he usually justs puts the underwear and socks (that he wore that day) back on. Boys!!!
Love you and praying for you tomorrow.

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
