Doing Well...

Sorry I haven't been back to this place for a few weeks. Thanksgiving was a wonderful, but busy time for us. We enjoyed good family and friends...and an extra week away from the chemo clinic. It was great! More on that later...

Marc had his 7th chemo treatment up at OHSU today. We met with the nurse practitioner first. Nothing new to report -- he remains very stable. The day was very uneventful. We are anxious to meet with the surgeon on the 16th and find out what we will be doing next. We are holding our breath for good news!

We are excited around here. The kids will be getting their swine flu and seasonal flu boosters tonight. I was also able to get a swine flu shot yesterday. This is a huge praise! While it doesn't protect us from every little bug, it certainly helps to reduce the risk of bringing home two viruses that could hurt Marc. We have been staying away from a lot of our regular activities, trying to avoid the flu. We feel a bit more confident about getting out and about now that we are vaccinated. Given that it's the Christmas season, we would really like to participate in all the parties and gatherings.

Thanks again for the prayers and encouragement. We rely heavily on it! I am hoping to post some pictures from Thanksgiving. We had a really wonderful week! We had, and continue to have, so much to be thankful for!

With love and gratitude...
