Well, Jon and I celebrated our 11 year wedding anniversary on the 17th of this month! He took me away for the night to the Morongo! It was so nice to just get away and actually forget I am sick for 1 night! Although, when I had to take a billion prescriptions before bed, it kinda reminded me! LOL! But it was a much needed night away without kids! (THANKS MOM AND DAD!)

Feb 20th~ I had my regular appointment today and got great news, my cancer numbers dropped from 19 to 14! These numbers are from 2 weeks ago, they didn't get today's numbers in yet! They also scheduled my CT Scan, it is on March 2nd at 11:30am (PST)! Please pray that I get good results! I know God is in control, but it is so hard not to worry! Then, when do worry, I feel unfaithful! If you know me, you know that this is a vicious cycle I have done my whole life! I am the biggest worrier and guilt ridden person I know! They did also prescribe me new anti-nausea medicine during my infusion that will last 3 days! (It worked awesome too!)

Feb 21st~ YUCK! CHEMO AGAIN!! This round my sister came with me! I have to admit, I was worried for her to come with me because I was afraid it would be too much for her! I mean hearing about what I go through and seeing it up close are two very different things! But she met "Zombie Christi" and did just fine! Of course I slept most of the time! Then I found out from my chemo nurse that they lowered my steriod dose for some reason! I could really tell, I was a lot more tired the following couple days after my treatment! Not good when you have 3 kids to chase after all day! Especially one who is starting the terrible two's! YIKES!! I also mentioned to the nurse that I would like to see my cancer numbers for this week, well, she pulled them for me and guess what?!! They went UP!! Not by much, but still, not the news I was hoping for! They are now at 16. BUMMER!

So, I do have a couple of prayer requests. SHOCKING! I know!! But this coming week on March 1st, my sister is having a colonoscopy done! PLEASE pray they find NOTHING!! I am really confident she is ok! But, every prayer will help solidify that! Also, pray that on the 2nd the scan shows no new cancer and hopefully a reduction in the amount of cancer in me! I really want to have the surgery to put me back together and this scan is what it depends on! Keep praying, God is listening! Love you all so much and I am SO thankful for all the thoughts and prayers!
