Hi guys!
It's sure been nice to be home for a couple of days. Good food (Yummy grilled cheese!!), good company (okay...so me and Reilly's bath wasn't that bad....) and all the tupperware in the world to bang and make louds noises!! But I have an appointment tomorrow morning and we're all hoping for a 500 blood count so I can start chemo this Friday! This is round two! After this round, the doctors are going to do a scan so they can tell how much the tumor has actually shrunk! Just thought you should know!

Now you feel it, now you don't!
At least that's what the doctors say when they feel around on my tummy! Amazingly, the mass has retreated to the point of undetection, and I'm barely a third into my chemo treatments! High-fives for everyone!
Or, if you're not into high-fives feel free to use a suitable replacement such as paper plates, Clorox wipes, gift cards to Target/Wal-mart, Starbucks...... or a Playstation 3. *sigh* Ok ok, so those aren't really high-five replacements but Mommy says those are the things we need most if someone asks and is absolutely determined to contribute.
Time is in short supply for my family ever since we brought home Reilly (he's well over 8lbs by the way!); and also my recent rise to fame has been time consuming as well. Paper plates are super easy to clean. In fact, they seem to clean themselves! Daddy throws them in this thing called a "trash can" and then they magically reappear in the cupboard completely clean. I haven't figured it out yet... but when I do I'll make tens of dollars! Clorox wipes are a must because my chemo treatments leave my immune system fatigued. We go through like a billion a second. I hear that's a lot unless you're the government spending money... but I don't really know what I'm talking about so please don't take me seriously. :)
Walmart/Target cards are great for diapers, food and all the stuff needed to keep the routine going. A new part of my routine is getting a shot... from a needle... I hate needles. It's kind of a big deal and it's basically not awesome but it's supposedly good for me so I tolerate Mother's insistence.
I realize Starbucks sounds odd but when you spend a gajizillion hours in the hospital it's nice to have a cup of coffee. Not that I would know... I literally haven't touched the stuff in years. HONEST!
Other than that, things are good. Mostly... Grandma bathed Reilly and me together. SOOOOO embarrassing. But she's nice so I gave her the biggest smile. :) Daddy has been getting back to work. My Aunt gets to stay till June. *WHEW!* Thank goodness for her help! I've got 4 more heavy chemo treatments, then they remove the mass and then I get two bone marrow transplants. Then I shall grasp victory by sheer force of collective will, prayer, love, thoughts, support and mashed potatoes!
