Last Dose of Chemo Today
Kind of a special day, though I'm not sure whether to really celebrate or not -- hopefully it did the trick and she'll be back in remission when they check her bone marrow in a few weeks. The good news is she should start feeling better in the next few days. She still hasn't eaten much in the last 10 days, and probably won't tomorrow either since she was still vomiting and whimpering today. Despite all that, she seems so much better than she did a few days ago, and the doctors note continued improvement in her breathing. They turned off the oxygen today, and now just check her levels every four hours.
We now have a fridge full of great food, thanks to our extremely generous friends, with another shipment due tomorrow. We're feeling pretty spoiled.
Another reason today was pretty special was because our friends Walt and Blaire had a baby yesterday up on the 15th floor, and we got to visit. Congratulations Walt and Blaire!

I am sending you hugs and kisses even though I am not there. XOXOXOX see you friday.

This web log is a great idea. We check it every day.
Astrid had a mass said for Brigitta yesterday, or dedicated to her, or whatever. Not for the first time--there was at least one last year too. As far as I know, the medical efficacy of masses, prayers, spells, incantations, and what not is unproven. But it did Astrid good, anyway (she's been upset since we heard about the relapse). And I don't suppose it will do Brigitta any harm. Fingers crossed!

Much relieved to see things are going well the last few days. I can be ALMOST as much a skeptic as my cousin Eric :), but have to admit to Robin at times that prayer really does make a difference. We have a big email prayer chain at church, so back on it M-B will go!
Love from all of us in KS -- cousin Mark, Robin, Mo, and Kristin
