Rhys asked for a baby sister the other day. Then had a meltdown when I told her that it's gonna have to wait til Daddy gets better. She was also quite adamant that she wanted to have the baby and not June. And she was going to eat all her vegetables and strawberries in order to have a baby. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing as how another kid isn't in the works right now, we will have to be satisfied in having Rhys be a big sister to other people's kids. Good thing we got lots of babies around.
Medical update: Saw the oncologist today. Looks like my body is recovering nicely and ready for round 4. White blood cell count healthy. Platelets healthy. All major organs functioning well. So I start round 4 on Monday. Will have my last treatment April 25. I will then get a CT scan and chest X-ray the week of May 24th. That's when I find out the status of the lymph nodes and cancer cells in my body. One thing at a time. I am just going to concentrate on getting through next week and take it from there. I want to thank everyone for their continued prayers and thoughts. We will celebrate my good health soon. Can't wait.
More than that, "we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us." Romans 5:3-5
I am getting restless, chomping at the bit. Couldn't help myself. Went to work today to attend a meeting. I didn't have to be there- my team can handle it. They did handle it. I just wanted to be included, haha. My partner in crime, D Kam is soon going to have my security pass revoked at the gate to keep me from coming in until I am healthy. Ah well. No more work til the doctor says ok. Well, we'll see.
