It's a New Year...

WOW!

it is crazy how fast time flies by - I can't believe that I haven't posted since December.

 

Well, a lot has happened since my last post...

Andrew turned 3 in January. 

I had my 2nd scan for the trial that I am participating and the results were not as good as the one in December.

My oncologist moved me into a different arm of the study so now I am getting daily oral chemotherapy and a new infusion drug.

I had my 1st infusion three weeks ago.

It wasn't easy but it also wasn't the worst medication that I have had.

This one can cause fevers and high blood pressure and after my 1st treatment I did end up in the emergency room with a fever and chills on Super Bowl Sunday.

I felt terrible for Dan - he had to watch the 2nd half of the game at the hospital - good thing there was the power outage at the beginning of the 2nd half otherwise he would have missed it.

...

On a lighter note -

Dad's night is tomorrow at school.

Michael's class is putting on a play and he has been practicing so hard to learn his lines.

I got to watch the dress rehearsal today and I have to say - I think he might have a bit of an acting bug. He is only 5 and only time will tell.

He told me he loves it, so we will see...

Dan and I are planning our 10 year anniversary trip for this summer.

We decided on Italy.

I broke down and finally emailed a travel agency - planning a trip is tough work!

...

I will have my 2nd infusion of the new drug tomorrow.

Hopefully a hospital visit will not put a damper on the weekend!

 

p.s.

I need to acknowledge some amazing Matilda Jane Trunk Keepers that continue to go above and beyond with their generosity.

Team Paperdolls - Thank you so much for the most beautiful quilt - the stories behind the squares are so touching. I am so deeply touched that y'all shared such meaningful pieces of your lives with me.

Team Stylists - I am in love with the photos from your walk that you created at your team meeting. and the mini benefit that you held in my honor brought me to tears.
