at thursday’s chemo i got the results of last week’s ct and pet scans. both scans were clear! this is excellent news. it means that i will finish out my six cycles of abvd, get scanned again, and as long as everything is still clear i will not have to do any radiation.
nugget had her arm x-rayed thursday before i went to chemo and her degree of fracture has gone from three to thirteen. while still within the acceptable range for her age, we’re hoping to see some improvement at next week’s x-ray. if it gets over fifteen degrees then they’ll have to remove her cast and set it. my poor baby girl!
this week, nugget’s grandma nettie is here visiting. they’re having a most excellent time playing together! this morning we got some super cute photos of nugget that i’ll be sure to post sometime next week.
nugget’s tantie sent me the most delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies this week. i’ve put nugget daddy under strict orders not to eat them all.
last week nugget’s grandmamie and grandad celebrated their twenty-eighth wedding anniversary. wow! grandad’s birthday was also celebrated and next week is nugget daddy’s birthday and my birthday. squee! we’re really busy with the gifting in august. i’m hoping to take nugget daddy to dinner and a movie, the x-files: i want to believe. i asked for a party. we’ll see what actually happens.
my dear, sweet friend, krista, is getting married today in california. it breaks my heart that i’m not able to be there to share her special day. i can’t wait to see all the pictures and hear all about her and jeff’s fabulous honeymoon in greece. i wish them both a lifetime of happiness together!

I was so happy to hear this, I had to hold back the tears of joy while I was at work. Poor nug, though! And keep the hubs away from those cookies – they’re all for you!
