Can you hear me now?

I know many of you have been trying to keep up with me through my blog and I haven't done a very good job of keeping it updated. Here are our present circumstances.
I will not be part of the  Chicago trial. This last round of radiation (10 days) put me up to almost 2 months. No one was comfortable waiting for the flush period of radiation (2 weeks) before starting chemo treatments.  So the doctors conferred and decided to just go ahead and put me on the tarceva.  I will take 1 pill each night before bed in addition to my regular medicines.  The good news is no trips to Chicago and I will still get the same medicine (except the unknown trial drug).  The bad news, the transition has been physically difficult.  I get PT and OT twice a week and I think that they have it out for me!!

Chloe is getting used to school routines and loves to go!  Levi however, just doesn't understand why he can't go with her.  With the change in our schedule both kids are as tired as we are!  Most nights we are all in bed by 8:30! Chloe actually announces on her own that she is going to sleep now.

Chad and company got the pool closed today :(  We made it to the Marigold Festival.  Chad took both kids on the firetruck for the parade.  And Chloe has been signed up for Suzuki.  The tiniest violin I have ever seen arrived in the mail today.  She is very excited to get started!

Ryan is hoping to throw a HUGE birthday party at mom and dad's horse ranch October 8th.  Hopefully I can catch up with most of you in person.  I promise to blog more often this time!
