A few weeks ago Kecia told her mom "you know your life is really boring when finding that your favorite snuggly socks are clean and ready to wear again makes you SO happy." If nothing else, Kecia certainly doesn't take the little things for granted anymore!
After being stuck in bed for so many weeks, our girl is finally getting that much needed break. She has had 4 really good days so far. Thursday she and her mom stopped by our house between two doctor visits. She read books to my two little ones and watched the other two perform shows on the trampoline. It was a beautiful day so we sat outside a little and took in some rays. It's amazing how we take for granted a little thing like enjoying the feel of sunshine on our faces. Friday Kecia stayed in and watched a movie with her boyfriend and Saturday afternoon she and Jeanie joined some friends out at our place for dinner. She made it to church this morning and is now at home resting after her busy week.
She is scheduled to have the complete set of scans done next week. She will do them Tue, Wed and Thurs. She hopes to get the results on Friday but they may make her wait until Monday. She is very excited. Each time she has gotten scans they have shown positive results which is a HUGE pick up for Kecia. It makes all those days spent in bed or by the toilet worth it. She is, however, a little apprehensive since it will have been 8 weeks since her last treatment of the "real" chemo. She has had several of the "stabilizing" Herceptin, but none of the "cancer killer" that I can't remember the name of. She is anxious to see if the cancer is still shrinking or if not having that chemo for so long has given it a chance to grow back.
We are so grateful for the past few days that Kecia has had the opportunity to get out of her bed and enjoy the simple things in life. She has color in her cheeks and her face just looks like she feels better. It was so great to see her smile. Thank you for your prayers on that matter. Now we can concentrate our prayers on the scans! So glad you have chosen to take this journey with us.
