Day 2 and 3 of Oral Chemo

Mom's spirts have been high. Doctor Vaz has put her on steriods which can make you kind of moody and agressive and it has been quite interesting. "She has had a little hop in her step," as dad has said. It gives her a little spunk and energy I think. She has been eating pretty good and has not had an upset stomach or any vomitting. What a blessing! I talked to the Cancer Center in Seattle today and we are set to go over the day after Christmas for a second opinion. Our appointment is at 11:00 am so hopefully the roads will be good and we will be able to find were we are going. We have a baptism for Kims boy Devon Saturday and Christmas Eve at Monte and Kelly's house Monday night. Everyone is bringing food and we are going to try and have a little program. Anyway... things are looking good so thanks for the prayers

Wow. I can't even imagine what it must be like to go through a trial like this - either for you, Chris, or for your family.

Having spent 13 years in school with Shawn, with lots of overnighters at your home, and lots of time in the same ward with you and your family, I wanted to add my prayers and encouragement. My family will be praying for you to have strength and comfort, and for the doctors to be instruments in the Lord's hands to do what is needed for you. It sounds like you have good people around you along with your family to help you through this.

We send our love from Portland, Oregon.
