Ladysmith beach day

Wednesday, June 30, 2010

Today was clinic day today! Christine also had an appointment with her old doctor here in Vancouver, so it was a bit exciting getting everyone ready and out the door this morning. Once we figured everything out, things went really smoothly. Brenn had a Lumbar Puncture this morning, so she was not allowed to eat, and her appointment was not until 10:00 am, so she was pretty hungry, and a little cranky. She did really well despite her hunger, and we sailed through the clinic in about 2-1/2 hours. This was great! We were also told that we would not have to go to the clinic at all next week! The good news just keeps on coming. The doctor also said that if we wanted to take a quick trip somewhere like Whistler, or Kelowna that it would be okay as long as we informed them before we left and let them know where we would be and for how long. The next phase of treatment (which doesn't start for another two weeks) looks pretty easy also. Our head oncologist told us to take this time, and really try to enjoy ourselves because the last 2 months running from mid September through mid November will be tough. I was really hoping that we would be back in Prince George for Brenns birthday, November 6th, but I guess we will just have to postpone her party until we do get home.

We are now feeling antsy, and really want to get out and see what is going on out there, but it is also a little intimidating. We were planning on possibly going out to Campbell River for a few nights, but just found out that Grandma is sick, so we will be postponing that trip for a while. Whistler is an option if we can find somewhere to stay for a couple nights. Brenn really likes Whistler, but will have to wait and see. Kelowna really seems far right now, but hey, they have a really good cancer clinic there, and we would feel a little more safe knowing that. It's been quite an intense couple months, and the new found freedom is scary!

Today was a great day after we got out of the clinic. We went and visited Ryan (another little boy with ALL from the house) he was in the hospital last night, and will be staying tonight, being released tomorrow if all goes as planned. After that, we went and had a celebration lunch with Brenn, before coming back to the house where Uncle Allan was dropping Samantha off. The kids were in good moods, however tired, and went to bed really well again tonight. It's really felt good to have the kids back to normal for the past few days, and we are really all enjoying one anothers company. Now Christine and I are going to have dinner together, as she was at Yoga again tonight. Good night.
