I wish I could say the first IP chemo went well today. Yesterday, Joanne got her IV Taxol and today she was supposed to get her first IP Cisplatinum. She was given all the initial IV drugs for nausea, etc. and then they discovered that her IP port was clogged - the fluid wouldn't go in.
So, it was off to the hospital for a dye study and then a cat scan. We were told to go home and wait for a decision. We are still waiting. It appears they are not sure what to do next.
So, a whole day at the office and all she got was sleepy! Maybe tomorrow.
Our friends Mara and Natalie are here from Nova Scotia to help us with the harvest and home repairs (Natalie can fix anything!). We're eliminating all our "tolerations" and putting up all the tomatoes, beans, beets. Now, if we could just run out and buy another freezer. . .
Here's another picture of our new children - never say I don't respond to your requests. . .

Well, maybe the port is clogged so you can have more fun visiting your friends, and, to get more tasks completed . . . We'll hope that the port can be flushed easily rather than having a new one put in, K?
Freddie and Ginger are looking grown up all ready. Thanks for sharing their mugs. Z has just seen their sweet faces and wanted to save them, so, we did.
We're off to Z's last day of a full week of school. He and the kids are liking their new space on Broadway, and, he's happy to have worklists again.
We're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Have fun with your handy helpers and thanks for keeping us posted.
Enjoy.
Tess and The Z
J&J,
You've been on my mind as I spend ten hours a day with three, four and five year olds. I would so love to come and chat with you over tea and knitting. In the absence of time to do that, I'm sending prayers for patience, healing and mindfulness. Your children are beautiful. Snuggle them for me.
Love,
Nancy
