4 Aug - End of a Long Week...

It was a hot week and the only fun thing to do outside for the kids was to swim! Here's Sam in our little backyard pool.

It was also a long week full of doctor visits. Tuesday Sarah got her drains tubes taken out; Wednesday night one of the drain holes started leaking quite a bit so we were up late putting thick dressings on it & got up every two hours at night to check it; Thursday morning oncologist visit for red blood cell booster shot; Thursday afternoon first meeting with radiation oncologist & then after that over to the surgeon to fix up the leaking drain hole - which ended up being two stitches. So... we're ready for the weekend! Overall, Sarah is recovering well from surgery and eager to get the staples out (next Tues) and start Herceptin.

My parents are returning to San Antonio this Saturday, so we'll have to adjust to life with less help again... They've really helped us a lot over the past two weeks so that Sarah and I could focus on getting her through the mastectomy, and the kids have enjoyed having them here!
