July 7th we missed our numbers, so Rebecca had 2 weeks off and it felt really nice. Cold sensitivity went away, she felt normal, it was nice. But by the end stomach pain had started intensifying, so it was good, but there was a reminder at the end of what the chemo was helping hold back.
We had a really good time in Michigan for Abigail’s orientation visit. We were all shuttled between a lot of buildings, so we started getting the lay of the land much better, Abigail met some other incoming freshman, and got to feel more comfortable on campus. Beautiful weather, and we got to drive during the day for the first time up and back, so we got to see the scenery in a different way.
We met with oncology on Friday, and got labs. They want to start giving Rebecca injections to help with her white blood cell count. We did make counts for today’s treatment, but it was close, and she had 4 weeks since last treatment. So treatment was today, and now we are home with the pump, pump comes off wednesday, then she’ll go in for injections thursday, friday, and monday. We take off to San Antonio on Wednesday morning, and then back Saturday night. Then Monday (that’s the 4th) we will meet with the Oncologist early in the morning, and do labs, then over to treatment number 6 at 10a. So a busy next couple of weeks.
After treatment number 6 we will be getting scans, we’re still unsure what that means and what types of scans they will be. We don’t even know if it will show much (since none of her other scans really have). It’s strange because we don’t know whether to hope it shows something or not.
Man this year is moving fast, I can’t believe we are already past half way done. Rebecca and I have been spending a lot of time together, so that’s been real nice. We are so happy to have our faith in God, and for all of the good things that He has blessed us with. Despite the current stinky situation we are in, we are happy and in love, and I can’t ask for much more than that. Thank you for your continued prayers and well wishes. I hope you all are enjoying your summer as well, it’s going to be gone in what feels like a blink. Love you all.
