Dave update

I realized that I forgot to give an update on Dave's last MRI. It was good and bad. Really mostly good because we found that the tumor has finally stabilized again and is not growing. Yea!! That really is the best news.

Bad news is that they want him to keep on the Chemo treatments for at least another 4 months. AAARRRGGGG!! The doctors want to make sure they really sock it to the silly tumor and make sure it has stopped growing.

Heres the problem. Our baby is due to arrive next month. Which means Dave will be sick and tired while i am sore and tired. What ever happened to the pregnant wife getting pampered after having a baby. Shouldn't I be able to say "honey do this and honey do that"? Shouldn't he have to help with the diapers and midnight feedings? I mean really those doctors just don't know what they are asking me to sacrifice while Dave is on Chemo.

Whew I feel better now that I have gotten that off my chest.

In all seriousness I really am very grateful that the tumor has stopped growing and I would take all the poopy diapers all the night feedings all the lack of sleep and absolute craziness that will happen with a newborn, a terrible two year old and a husband on chemo just to make sure the tumor has stopped growing. I want Dave around for a long time so he can help with the terrible teen years!! They are all his then :)

We love you all and thank you everyday for your prayers.
