Week in Review

Mark had the nuclear heart test thing today. Took a few hours and it involved a nasty I.V. but its over and done with. Day Four on the chemo drug stuff again and Mark's hands are starting to hurt just a tiny bit (fingers crossed it gets no worse), his feet are OK and I noticed his face looks a bit rosy like last time (with his fair complexion its more of a glow, haha). Other than that Mark's appetite has been back in full force. He pounds a box of powdered donettes daily. I ran into a friend at the market and my cart only had high calorie snacks, I blamed Mark.

The "Dr. Ferber - Cry It Out" Method actually works. We are true believers now and plan to extend our skills to our friends and family...SuperNanny-style should you need our services. Jonathan slept from 7:30p to 5:15a last night. It was awesome to get lots of sleep and to have our bed back.

We'd also like to give a special shout out to our Nurse Case Manager, Ronda. When our insurance company called to say they were assigning us to a case manager, at the time it only scared me more. I was like oh Lord you know you are in trouble when A) the insurance company calls you - that never ever happens B) when they assign someone to you because you have the potential of needing help. When we met Ronda at our home we were still in full blown shock about everything going on. Since the moment she met us she has genuinely cared about us and given us great advice. She calls us each week to see how things are going and we know she will be with us for the long haul. Ronda Rules !!!
