A Nasty Cold - Ugg!

On Friday both Brett and I came down with a cold. Today I'm home trying to get rid of it and those dark circles under my eyes. Eight to nine hours of sleep don't seem to be doing it. Sooooo, I'm hoping a little quiet time at home with lots of resting will work. I really want to get better soon because I'm supposed to begin chemo. on the 30th. Just two more chemos to go. That's nice.

I fought the idea of staying home because I'd normally work right through a cold that I knew I had picked up from the kids. However I had to face the fact that my body is trying to fight any cancer too and I need to take care of myself. Reality bites sometimes!

And yes, I'm drinking lots and taking my vitamins.

News from the scans

So sometimes things aren't what you think they should be. Not worse nessasarily, just not what you thought. Sheri had a brain MRI today. The five remaining spots are still there, and not growing, but they are different. Fluffier looking, kinda cloudy. Our Doctor wasn't sure what that really meant. It was good that they had not gotten larger, but a little disapointing that they were still there. Sheri's blood continues to be stellar, that has really impresed her Doctor over the past 18 months. So Sheri's Doctor is having other Doctors look at her scans to see what they think. Sometimes you just have to say it is what it is and keep pushing forward. We were hoping for great news to give everyone, but not this time. It's not bad news though either.

We're continuing to look up and pray for the miracle. Thanks for being persistant with us.

Looking up,

Brett and Sheri (We wrote together.)

Have you missed us?

Did you wonder if something was wrong? Nope, just living life. Sheri finished her oral chemo last week on Tuesday. My sister and her family came over for Easter. Mom directed the choir from her wheelchair, she's amazing. Sheri is getting her energy back after chemo. We have an MRI scans next Thursday, we are hoping for stellar results as of the last scan it was almost gone....just a few small spots. So there it is....not much to report. Sheri did really well on this last chemo, no nausea. Two more rounds left. Sheri's crew cut is growing longer each day, expect the wig to come off in the weeks to come. OK we'll update again after we get scan results next Thursday.

Spring Break

We have enjoyed being home for Spring Break. It's nice to simply hang out with the kids. (Daddy's working.) Today we will go spend some time with Grandma La Mar and then try to get some things done around the house.

I'm thankful that I was able to join "the girls" for a walk this morning. I'm so glad that they are consistent about it because I can join in when I have the energy to. It feels great to get out.

Tomorrow we go to Wenatchee for a Herceptin treatment and to see my doctor about the next round of chemo which should begin on Friday. We have 3 more rounds including this one. We're keeping our eyes looking up while hoping and praying for complete healing. Thank you for continuing to pray with us.
Happy Spring Break!
