Mixed blessings

We have a lot to be thankful for today. Although the news of the growing nodes in her lungs is devastating, we also found out that her kidney function is thisclose to normal and her heart is much, much improved. The chemo missed the mark, but if we had hit harder the first two rounds, those two organs wouldn't be where they are today. Now we are able to hit her with the proper dose (she was only on a half dose before).

Her chances of survival are much slimmer now. This is a reality we are facing, but we are solidering on for two more rounds of rock'em sock'em chemo and then taking stock after the next scans. We have the gift of today and we have the gift of tomorrow. And that's pretty much where we are at.

She sat up unassisted today.

God, I love her so much.
