CT Scan- No Results

No real news. No change in tumors. She's anemic now. So that explains all the fatigue and coldness. We are taking a break from chemo for now.  We are thinking about a lung biopsy. Her tumor has changed somewhat and the radiologist thinks they have found a place that will yield a good sample. So we are back to possible gene therapy.  Mostly just tired.  If she's still anemic prior to our trip they will transfuse her. Her immune system may be able to reproduce red blood cells without needing a transfusion. -Blake {Pippylong Stockings getting her CT Scan} {Evening Ride}

Round 6!

On Friday Mom completes her last round of chemo (hopefully)! She has a CT scan coming up, and with those results we will determine what type of treatment we will do next! We are very hopeful that the next thing will be immunotherapy!

Then on Saturday we decided to go ride bikes on one of our favorite trails in Tricities! We are so thankful to our friend that let us borrow the most amazing bike for mom! The girls came up multiple time and would ask, “Mom are you tired yet?” They should have been asking Dad! 

When they borrowed it I got this cute text from Momma! “My husband borrowed this bike to take to Richland and ride the river path there...so excited!  

I didn't know he would sit me in it and then take off to the high school where a football game is going and drive me past everyone we know...😂😂😂best was seeing Tanner and all his friends! Should have blown kisses at him...next time I'll be ready!

Memories are the molecules of eternity...want to have many for my kids...hope they see I gave them the best father ever! 🤗 life is good!! 

I felt like a giddy little school girl in the carriage...😂”

Round 5 & CT Scan Results

Last Monday Mom had a CT scan, and on Friday we got the results back. This CT scan shows that the primary tumors have shrunken a little!! This means that the doctors think the treatment is being effective for now! We will have one more round of treatment (in 3 weeks), and then scan again to evaluate the next steps of treatment!

Also, enjoy this cute picture of my Momma during her chemo treatment! This is her "chemo blanket," made by her Mom.

Long Beach

Last week we go to Long Beach! This was our second time there. Mom spent time on the beach, shopping, and painting! But the highlight for her was fulfilling her dreams of riding a horse on the beach!

Round 4

I got to take Mom to round 4 of chemo this week! She is doing pretty good, but tired! Also enjoy this fantastic photo of Clel, who has also made the list of Mom’s favorite nephews!

Girls Camp

Momma has been busy of late! On Thursday she went to the temple! Then on Friday she went and spoke to the girls in our ward at Girls Camp for their Faith Walk. She really looked forward to that and loved preparing it. She really loved going up to camp for a few hours. When she left camp, her and Dad went to a friends cabin for the night, where they went canoeing and enjoyed the outdoors.

Waves of Happiness

Took a family trip to the Oregon coast! We had a blast jumping waves, and collecting shells. We also stopped in Tillamook and went to the creamery... twice! On the way home we stopped in Multnomah falls! Thanks Aunt Tam, Aunt Wenda and grandma for joining us!!
