Oncologist Update (And Our 200th Post)

Today marks the day that Chris was oficially "taken off" his daily injection schedule and put on a monthly one!

He had his first monthly injection today and his next "needle apointment" isn't until January 2!

Dr. Dressler (we'll call him Dr. D from here on out on the blog) came in and asked how Chris was doing. We happily told him that the liver and shoulder pain he had been having was gone and Dr. D looked at us and said "That's often the best indicator that this stuff is doing it's job" - FANTASTIC NEWS!!!! He then examined Chris and as a smile spread across his face, I knew he had good news for us! Chris's liver was "NORMAL"! It had been swolen and that was now gone! He even passed the stethoscope to Chris so that he could hear what a normal liver sounds like! (Bet you didn't know a liver made any kind of sound - neither did we until today). They drew some blood to check his liver functions, but we could tell that he wasn't expecting much of anything to show up! Still, we'll breathe a LOT easier once we get those results back!

All in all - a great day today and we're happily looking forward to the holiday season that's quickly approaching!

As always, your continued prayers are wanted, and appreciated. It's VERY obvious that someone up there is listening!

Sometimes it really is the little things that make you smile!

This post marks the 200th post of our blog! Trust me when I tell you that when we started this blog a year and half ago, if someone had asked me when I thought we'd be posting our 200th post I would've said "Never!" But, life happens and those happenings need to be documented!

Looking forward to our 400th post!
