Ignorant People

I don't know why I let them bother me. Why do I let their uneducated comments get under my skin? Why do I want to punch out a woman I have never met for a stupid comment she posted on an article online? I sent her an e-mail. It probably won't be read. I told her I was offended by her comment that greatly lacked research on her part. I will update if I get a response from her. Perhaps I will even publish the correspondence for all (lol, like who really reads this other than me) to see. I am sure I am over reacting.

The results...

Everything came out fine!!!!!! Of course the Dr. took his time to look at the scans (I can't even get into this...), but the news is good. My daughter is cancer free!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I can breath with a smile now, at least until May....

MRI done

Now we wait.

MRI and other things

At last the date is here, well tomorrow morning to be exact. I am very nervous. What if they find something? That question pops in my head for every EUA, blood test, Dr. visit, etc now. Once zapped by the cancer gun, there is no going back. No more innocence of motherhood. It is the gray cloud that hovers near by. So what if they find something? Well we take it from there I guess.

Other news: My husband is finally home, yay! The in-laws are in for 11 days, yay! AND I am finally going to spend my first night away from my daughter ever, when my husband and I take our getaway. I look forward to it, but am still nervous. I hope my daughter sleeps fine for Nana and Papa!

Busy Good last week!

My friend and her son came for a visit from MA. It was awesome! I haven't seen any of my old friends since last.........April, yes it was April. My husband hasn't seen anyone since last two Thanksgivings ago-it was so great and busy. Now that our daughter is out of chemo and fairing well (levels are normal, even with the port), we can DO things! Doing things is great. We first went to the aquarium. It is a great aquarium and our second visit. I am not thinking that she may be a tad too young to appreciate the experience. Then we went to the Lowry Park Zoo. This I LOVED. She liked it too and it wasn't so crowded that I felt nervous putting her down and letting her walk. We are going to do this again while Nana and Papa are here next week. Lastly, we went to WDW. It was nice and I am all over it now. Shocking! I know, it is sexist and racist, etc, but who can't buy into their wonderful marketing? Okay, it was my daughter's wave and excited yelling, "Hiah, Mickey!" at the parade that really got me. She also was obsessed with the Pooh ride (well maybe not the ride-more the giant picture of Pooh outside of the ride. "Hiah Pooh!" She melts my heart and along with it my hatred of all things Disney. That was a super long day that started off with her vomiting in the car, but it ending on a high note with two kids on sugar highs crashing to comas after a delicious take out meal.


So Nana and Papa are here next week!!!! I love having all these visitors, it really has been way too long. My husband and I are going to escape for a much needed "adult" break. Our first us time since our daughter has been born. My husband has been away, but not me. No more excuses and Nana is dying to watch her for a few days all by herself. I guess I have some control issues, but I am SOOOOOOO ready. My first overnight without my baby! We will be close enough by incase there is an eye emergency, so coming back to fix it will not ruin our vacation.



Speaking of eyes. She gets her custom eye Thursday. This month has flown by! I can't wait to see it! Another busy week passes and another busy week will begin. We are going to the Children's Cancer Center tomorrow, Orlando Thursday...Okay, so that is it, but both are good for their own reasons.

Her MRI is on St. Patty's Day. I hope that means good luck. I am nervous, although all things point to good news. Everything is just another hurdle...If we can just get through the chemo, if we can just get past the enucleation, if we can just get past the last three chemos, her first EUA post chemo......One step at a time.....

Girls Day Out

SOOOOO much needed. My husband stayed home with our daughter while we took a trip to the outlet mall. I bought a pair of jeans, bras, and some casual t-shirts. All very much needed. I even managed to stick to my diet. It would be great to fit into some of my pre-cancer clothes again! I am waiting to pick up my friend Em and her son Johnathan from the airport. A busy next couple of days, but it will be good for me. I realized late today, we really don't have much food in the house, so I am winging it. We do have coffee at least!

I am excited to see our daughter play with another kid (okay, this always thrills me and she learns so much from them). J is almost 3-so I hope she learns tons, esp. in the language category.

I also ran for 38 minutes tonight. It felt good and I haven't been doing as much running as usual. Trying to be more family oriented at night...yada yada. I need the run. Today has been a great day. Will be exhausted tomorrow, but happy!
