Yep, we made it.


All is well here in mostly sunny California. Bryce and Alyssa didn't really figure out where we were going until the family behind us started talking about the things they were going to do in Disneyland. We held out for 3/4 of the trip here.....I think that's pretty good. We are enjoying our reprieve from what we consider normal. Although Sheri has Doctor appointments Monday after we get back.....Ahhh, we'll jump off that bridge when we get there. For now there are many, many rides to be ridden.....I'm trying to get them to go on the Tower of Terror....no takers so far. See ya on the flip side.

SHHHH.....Can you keep a secret?

OK We have a confession to make. We've been keeping a secret from our children. Two weeks ago we bought tickets to Disneyland, but haven't told Bryce and Alyssa. We leave tomorrow at noon. As of tonight they think we are spending a quiet weekend at home......not so much. I'll pick them up from school tomorrow with Sheri, they are already packed, and we'll head to the airport and fly out of Wenatchee. We're hoping to keep it a secret until we get there....we'll see. Anyway off we go! We are taking a computer so we'll try to upload some fun pictures or videos for you. Looking up.

Scan results good.....the adventure continues

Sheri got here results of her MRI and CT scan today. Her body is still looking clean, with no sign of cancer in her liver or bones or lungs, this is good. The original 12 places the cancer was in her brain are down to 4, and those 4 are 95% smaller then they were, this to is good. Sheri's Doctor recommended we go for Gamma Knife treatment at the U, this we are not sure about. We will be meeting with a Doctor at the first of next month to discuss the details of what this means. The brief snapshot we got from Sheri's Doctor was that it was a week long procedure that would require us to stay in Seattle. It also may require some surgery, how much we are not sure.

Sooooo.......we're not too sure how to feel. We are excited that the tumors have shrunk a bunch, but are anxious about another treatment. Meeting with the other Doctor will help clarify the fuzzy details. The concept we are getting from Sheri's Doctor is that they want to eradicate everything that is tumor so there is nothing left to grow back. We are both on board with that! So good news, and the adventure continues.

A Day Off

It's always nice to have an extra day off. I love just being home. Ahhhh. It makes me realize how busy we are normally.
This Thursday we have scans and a treatment of Herceptin. We should get the results of the tests we take on the same day this time. I appreciate that. No waiting and we don't have to drive down again for results a day or two later. My doctor and nurses really take good care of us. And yep, we're praying for good results and complete healing as we walk through this.
We are continually thankful for all of the help and support from friends and family.
We'll let you know what happens with the scans.
Looking up.

A Busy Week

Sorry for the lack of updates as of late....as with everyone, life is busy. Sheri finished her oral chemo Tuesday. She felt a little under the weather for a few days afterwards. Friday was Byrce's 7th birthday party with his little buddies. Saturday I worked the Home Show in Wenatchee, and that night we did a party with Sheri's side of the family for Bryce. Today was church and catching up at home. At the lumberyard we started a new computer, so learning the ropes on it have been consuming lots of the crews and my time. Life rolls on that's for sure. We go in for scans on February 19th. We are expecting, and praying for good results. We appreciate all the support and prayer. We'll keep you all in the loop as we have new information. Keep looking up
