6 May - Busy Week


We had a busy weekend of sports and an Indian Guides museum sleep-over. As the pics show, the boys had a great time trying out every exhibit in the place! Floor was kinda hard to sleep on, but no-one complained too much. Ben had his "Fiddle Fest" this week where he performed with his cello class and Sam will have a class performance for the parents tomorrow at school - Sarah and I both plan on going.
Sarah got Abraxane treatment again today. She felt more energetic this week and we were even able to go out to dinner last night for our 15 year Anniversary! She was running a fever last weekend but the doc says it could be due to tumor cells dying as she started a new chemo last week - that's a hopeful thought after being worried about the high temps. Overall it's hard to say what the numbers are telling us. Her liver numbers got a little worse but they are still pretty close to normal range except Alk Phosphatase. The plan is now to wait until she's had 4 Abraxane treatments and then do a PET scan if her tumor markers have not improved. So two more weeks to go before that point.
For Sarah, it's just such a relief to have a little more energy -- she drove a few times this week on her own (but she still can't walk much). We have a handicap parking pass now and she makes use of it so the walk into a building isn't so far.

Just want you to know I think about you all the time. Several London folks were at Tim Salter's change of command last week (he's now CO of the Philadelphia SSN ???) and we were looking at old pics -- so much fun and SOOO long ago it seems! "Keep keepin' on" as they say and we'll continue to pray.

I can't believe it's been 15 years (I remember really liking the courtyard your reception was in)!! Hope the fatigue clears up soon -
