The cancer is shrinking but now there is a problem with her stomach. It's either gas or a intestinal obstruction. She has lost more weight and her eyes are sunken in but the bottom half is all swollen. She has little strength and cannot have any food or drink. She is sucking on hard candy cause all she gets is IV fluids. She has been very depressed and told her dad not to call me she would call when she is ready. She apologized and explained what the last few weeks have been like. this round of chem wasn't as hard on her as the ones before but she can't leave till they find out whats going on with her guts.
I plan on going up tomorrow evening to see her.
No new donations have come through but I got an email last night that I have forwarded on to some of my friends. My hope is that they give this to their friends and family. I can't wait to see what the total is at the end of april. We receive 33% of what is sold and with this being a nationwide company anyone can help.
While Kelly was in school, Wyatt and I went to the zoo with the mommy group. Except we didn't stay with the mommy group. I let Wyatt do his own thing and we walked the zoo like 2-3 times. I got a couple of good shots but my batteries went dead and my replacement battery wasn't charged. That's okay, it was more about hanging with my little man.
Of course wyatt really didn't have much interest in the animals, just running around.
Well, I'm gonna try a chill before I head off to work tonight. I'm fighting a bit of a cold.
Happy hump day. Carrie

Happy Birthday DAD!
Yesterday we went to Phx to pick up Rob's mom's washer and dryer. We stopped by IKEA and whoa that was mind boggling and so tiresome. Of course what is going to phx if we don't stop off at In and Out burgers. oh yeah. We got home just before 5 and then we had to go shopping for my friend Amanda's son Donovan and his birthday present.
So Happy Birthday Dad. I hope you had a good day. I need to buy stamps and mail you a home made card.
Tomorrow is the church b-day also, so today I'm picking up the helium tank and the 3 cakes. Thankfully the fridge is now fixed but totally empty so I can fill it with the 3 cakes.
I really don't want to go to work today. My allergies are giving me a sore throat and making me very tired.
Next week is Joy's baby shower and I need to go grocery shopping for that and maybe get a gift or give money.
So Far the funds for Paris stand at $200. Mikey's company is going to help out and I'm really hoping that they can be generous. We are going to do a fund raiser with Schwans foods and that one can go nation wide. That seems to be our most promising.
Okay we need to go pick up the cakes. Happy Saturday

All of my internet ordered stuff has arrived. The fridge is supposed to be fixed tomorrow. This is the 2nd set up time to fix it.
I have gotten all the supplies for the church birthday party, and will order the cake today.
I'm still at $200 for donations but hopefully will hear from my brothers company about a check.
My brother has said he is going to give me $200 and mom is gonna give $200. Things are looking very promising.
I have lost two pounds since last week when I started to eat better and workout. Trying to Keep the momentum going!!! I want to lose 15lbs before I leave
Kelly started her busy bodies preschool again yesterday. she is paid up till mid may when I think it ends for the summer. She enjoyed being back and didn't take long for her shyness to end and get back into the groove.
See I said not much new.
I can still hear. I am still looking at the postives. And I have not heard from Kim.
I helping with a baby shower of the 30th and that feels under control.
On April 14th our mommys group is going to be at mmu for a night of scrappin'. this is the evening after I do the all night walk/photos for the Relay for Life. I have ordered two luminarias 1. for Julie and 2. for Kim for the event. I'm supposed to raise money for that also but I haven't the time so I think I'll try to give $100 to cover me.

Wednesday aka hump day
Thursday, February 22, 2007
Hanging by a thread.
Course that's the way my friends treat me. Even Kim's "I'll call you right back", ends up being the next day or five hours later. Which by the way we have not had the gabfest because she didn't answer her phone and still hasn't answered her phone.
But life goes on and I still have my Grey's Anatomy. I didn't cry. I mean come on they are NOT going to kill off their main star, but I'm sure it got a big ratings boost. It was a good episode though.
Cleaned up Kelly's room and moved it around. Now she has more space to make a bigger mess. Actually let me clarify; it's not so much Kelly as it is Wyatt the Destructor. If only I could get that boy to pick up his messes. AAAkkkk. His room is still on the verge of chaos since we changed beds and moved it around. (side note) I should take pictures because I have some scrapbook stickers that would fit perfectly. Now I won't have till wait till they are older to use them.
Shoot I changed font colors and now I have screwed up the color on the blog. Sorry if you have any trouble reading this.
So on Saturday, rain or shine my hubby and brother are headed up to PHX to the checker,schucks, kragen nationals to see top fuel dragsters and funny cars. Now I could make a red neck joke but unless you have been there you cannot make a joke about watching a car go from zero to 300 in less than 6 seconds and feel the ground vibrate from the thrust of the engine. It is addicting and ear popping but sooo awesome to see these guys and gals thunder down the straightaway. Forget the beer and chicks in short tops, just think about all the power and and ....... it's just so cool to watch the big guys you only get to see on tv live and in person. Granted the crowds suck and I always got sunburned the 2 times we went but just the cars are cool.
SOOOO, the kiddos and I are hanging together on Saturday and as of right now we have no plans. hhuuummm, I'll have to get us out of the house. I'll think about this.
Have a good friday.
Carrie P.S. Aunt "flo" came to visit and that explains ALOT!!

Wyatt got moved into his own twin bed. thankfully he is sleeping in his own room instead of joining us most nights. We hope it continues this way.
typical stuff though with work and church. Had a pretty good family day on Monday with Rob home. Got lots accomplished.
Kim came home monday night and so far seems to be doing good. I plan on having a good ol gab session tomorrow.
I really don't know what to talk about tonight.
I had a minor meltdown before homegroup tonight. I went to pay a bill and was surprised on how much of our tax return is gone. Yes we did things on our list but I guess in part of my mind I still expect to see almost all of it still there. I mean we are okay, but the funds are dwindling down as we do the things we planned to do.
So after i saw that I had to run to the grocery store to get butter and fill the truck up with gas. That just compounded my freakout. more money gone. When I came home Rob asked me if I was all right and I just lost it. It was a good cry and I needed it. It's okay, I just had alot stored up and it hit the surface. To put it into some perspective; I started to tear up when the springer spaniel James won wesminster dog show last week. (no I'm not pregnant, maybe PMS)
So tomorrow people are coming into work to shoot a commercial. THANK GOD! I won't be in until the evening. It looks to be soooo stressful.
Our homegroup is going to start a new course for childrearing next week. Rob and I so need this. We actually started something to try out. I have a frame that we put the house rules and disciplinary action in. Once I get done I should take a picture for posterity. Rules: 1. no yelling, 2. no dirty or mean faces, 3. no back talk, 4. no throwing toys. Discipline 1. Warning 2. time out- nose to the wall (k-5 min. w-3min) 3. spanking. we are firm in our belief that as long as we follow these rules our kids will start to behave better. The course that we are starting in called, Making children mind without losing your by Dr. Kevin Leman.
I guess I had something to talk about afterall huh?

Friday news WARNING epic post
This week we got Wyatt a twin bed. yes he is 2 1/2 but since we got the bed he has stayed in his all night. way cool. But i had to put the toddler bed into storage. I didn't feel the need to cry. You would think I would be emotional, my baby growing up and passing into another stage. but I didn't. I didn't feel that would be the last time I would use the toddler bed. Are you getting my meaning. (I know I'm somewhat rambling).
Rob says that if I want another child that is alright with him. So the projected start date for "operation baby 3" is on our 10th anniversary in April.
So this is the depressed and planning stage, but also planning on how to spend tax return money. We hope to do some renovations on our bathroom and replace windows and now we need a new water heater. More planning. I can't find shoes that are cute and fit my big feet, depressed.
A happy thing is Kim just called and gave me the report on her CT scan. All the cancer is either shrunk or gone and though she still has 2 more treatments to go through her cervical tumor is almost completely gone. Now after the next 2 chemo treatments they (dr) want to do a bone marrow scan to see if there are any cancer cells in her body and then she may be in remission!! If she goes into remission she said they usually only do a check once a year. I asked if they could do it every three months. she laughed. I'm serious. I want to stay on top of this.
They are still talking about a GI scope but Kim is afraid because of the gastric that they might hurt her. so right now she is refusing unless it is an emergency.
Actually back to the planning stage. Mom and I are going to PHX in April. So I have been typing out all the products that we are looking for. Lots of paper and clear stamps. we are going with goals in mind and shopping like its hot!
Have a great weekend. I'm gonna go tax refund shopping!! hugs carrie
