Well so Matt is officially, officially enrolled in both schools. sigh. Today was the day to get er all dun, and boy did we ever. I had to take his copy of his birth cert to the school to prove he was mine, (getting the birth cert was a project all of its own!!) and then we enrolled him in an incredible after school program. There they will pick him up from kindergarten for us, he will go eat lunch, and then he will do arts and crafts, field trips, and be in an official after school program where there is NO tv. Can you tell I am grinning from ear to ear? (well, only at the no tv part) Where he is now is so great, but she doesn't police the tv because there are so many kids there, it is easy to just leave the tv on to keep the peace at times. Although, he has been playing outside pretty non stop lately, and hasn't been watching much of it the past few weeks besides his regular movies he watches at night..it will be a good thing, and it is very secure where we have to have a security card to come in and get him. I feel very very satisfied with what he will be doing. On non school days (there are a TON!) he will still go to where he has gone all along so him and Kate will be together. I think she will miss her brother, and I really hope that it isn't too hard on her with him being so far away from her all day long. I know that they are really bonding now, so I hope I am not messing that up.
Work has been steady busy..we have been seeing a ton of people for various things, and it has been pretty interesting. I have been working the last few Fridays again, but they are in the process of hiring a new gal there, so hoping I will get a break soon.
Mom is down to having only 2 chemo sessions left. Apparently her white cells are down for the first time, so if anyone reading this could say a little prayer, or think of us, we would appreciate it. She goes and gets am immune booster shot the day after her chemo to help things along, but for some reason, she is on the lower spectrum of her wbc's this time, and it is a bit scary for me. Mike keeps assuring me that the more positive I am, the better she will be at healing, and he is reading The New Testament right now, ( I know, right?) and he is trying to assure me that she will pull through, and she is strong, and she has done so well this whole time..I just don't even want to think of her needing plasma, or a transfusion of some sorts..I love that woman so much, and as hard as it is to see your mom go through a physical change (her with no hair is just so sad to see at times knowing how long and pretty it used to be) she has done so much with her time off she has had with her treatment.
I know that this is a pretty big hurdle to get through, and we will only get through it faster if I stay positive. I got to call a patient the other day to tell her she didn't have cancer, and she was so happy and so relieved. It made me happy to hear her so happy, but then sad, very sad knowing my mom didn't get to have that kind of call. It is a hard time at times, but then other times are easy. Can't really explain it. I am thankful she isn't throwing up all of the time though, and I am thankful for all of the energy she has continued to have. Please God, please continue to bless her.

I'm praying H. Staying positive is hard, but you can do it. Just leave it in God's hands and he will take care of you and your family. Prayers do work. And congrats on Matthew....it's coming up so fast now!!!
