Chemo Week #8

How do these weeks go so fast? Seems like chemo week happens more often than "regular" weeks.
Carli came home this evening and we all (Ted and I, Kelsie, Tara, Carli and Jeremy) went out to dinner. It was so nice to sit and eat and talk and laugh. Poor Kelsie...we had some fun at her expense...the youngest sometimes gets picked on! Carli had a great week at camp and said that the little kids were so much fun.

Carli is dreading tomorrow. Each week almost seems to get more difficult. We will be asking the doctor tomorrow what the plans are to check and see how the chemo is doing. If I understood correctly, she will have a CT this month to see if we are making progress. She is determined that she will only have 4 more treatments. The hard part will be drinking the stuff for the CT. She could hardly get it down in April, and now with a queezy stomach she is worried she won't be able to keep it down. Pray that there will be an alternative.....

Jeremy is here to see what she really goes through. Carli said that she hasn't shown him her head yet...I think that it is bothering her more than she ever lets on. She wears a bandana or scarf and has received some cute hats from a good friend (thanks, Sandy!). People are still so thoughtful and praying for her...it is such a blessing.
