I hope everyone had a wonderful christmas full of lots of family time. Ours didn’t have enough family time but we thoroughly enjoyed the time we did have! We were truely blessed this christmas. We had lots of help from a few people we knew and lots of help from a few people we didn’t–without this help I’m not sure how Santa would have made it to our house! This coming up week will be full of doctors appointments again! We have a followup with the brain surgeon on Wednesday and a followup with Dr. Schertz on Friday which we are very excited for!
So we have 1 more christmas present for everyone. Last Friday Josh had his lab work done for his tumor markers but it takes the cancer center 5 days to get the results. I called to see if they had them back on Christmas eve and they did………………..his tumor marker was a 9 after surgery but that was still too high. Dr. Schertz said a normal was 6. Last Friday when they were taken the level was 3.9–which is WONDERFUL news! That was our best christmas present ever! There were times this year that I thought that Josh wouldn’t be here to celebrate christmas with us this year and there were times that I thought that maybe he would be here but Santa wouldn’t be able to come…neither were the case! Josh was here and Santa came to our house to see Kobie…it was wonderful!
Has everyone read in the news that Lance Armstrong’s girlfriend is pregnant? Well..she is and she is due in June. Yes, he did store his sperm before undergoing chemo which Josh was not given the option to do BUT this child was conceived naturally…so…maybe one day Josh and I will be able to have more kids.
I’m ending by saying…no matter how bad things are they would always be worse so be thankful for what you have!
