Good day, goofy port, icky cancer

We met yesterday with Sheri's doctor. The appointment went well. Dr. Malhi was very encouraged, the tumors are shrinking! We've felt this from day one, but didn't want to get too excited. We didn't want to blog it either for fear we were wrong. Dr. Malhi's smile while examining Sheri told us volumes. We were right!! Did we mention how thankful we are for her Doctor?

Now.....(I'm using my best coach talk here, we have many friends who are coaches, so they'll have to tell me how I do here!).....temper your cheers. There is a lot of work to be do. The home team just scored!! But we're only in the first quarter, so heads back down, and get back to praying. (please)

Anyway we then went on to more chemo. Sheri's port ( a surgically implanted I.V. inlet) stopped working. The nurses fussed, and fussed to no avail. So we went on with a regular I.V. After four hours of chemo, we had to go to x ray to find out what was wrong with her port. The nurse told us if it was blocked that we'd have to go back in and fix it surgically, which didn't please Sheri. In x ray the doctor fussed some more, and got the goofy thing to work! He saw nothing wrong on the x ray. Sheri's nurse was there, so she's learned how to get things perking next time. All in all, a very good day!!!

We must remember our fight thou...(back to coach talk...)...We've had friends taken by this B@S#%RD cancer....and it's not going to be easy. Don't stop praying. Don't look down. Keep pushing on to VICTORY! As we know people loose to cancer, people also WIN. We are choosing to focus on the W's not the L's. Keep fighting with us.

PS....While we're cheering, How 'bout 'dem COUGS! #6 in the nation! Glad we've got something to cheer about. And yes I like Paul Wolff as our new football coach. I graduated with Paul and worked a little with him while I worked in the athletic department....he's a true COUG!
