Numero Tres

-
We're on snow day #3. Still not complaining, but I have to admit that snow days have lost a bit of their magic. Kids are still having a blast. Parents might be struggling with entertaining those kids.

Our weathermen are wrong. Alot. But generally they're wrong because they're forecasting snow/ice/cold weather, which never comes to fruition. This would be day 4 of predicting the wrong temperature - it's been much colder than the forecast for once.

We've been playing games, giving Lego challenges (this was a complete disaster since Rory spent 2 hours basically putting together 5 pieces total while Camden built an entire scene), watching extra TV, reading, baking, playing in the snow, staying up late.

I finished up Downton Abbey and moved on to season 3 of Sherlock . . . and then PBS had the nerve to take it off their mobile viewing app. Here's hoping it comes back soon. Until then, I'll have to settle for Korean dramas and American Idol.

Church is already canceled for tonight so I think I might rebel against cooking and order pizza. Is it okay to make someone else deliver pizza when you think the roads are too bad to drive on yourself??

They are definitely still having way too much fun. I actually went outside myself yesterday to snap a few pictures. Almost completed busted it, but I managed to stay upright.

We tried to do the same thing and have our pizza delivered the other day for the same reason. :P Unfortunately we were having a bit too early of a dinner, and were too early for them to be delivering. I hope your pizza is yummy!

I totally vote for ordering pizza. I love the Lego challenge idea. Love the photos of the kids!

The multiple snow days in a row are killer... especially because you are all cooped up and there is only so much you can take when you cannot leave the house. Or, at least thats my opinion! :)

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
