Sunday, February 18

Hello! I hope everyone had a great week last week and a great Valentine's day! I haven't had much to post lately, which I suppose is good! Just busy living life! I posted a couple of photos from sessions I did last week on my photo blog: http://photographybykasey.blogspot.com/
Feel free to check them out!

We are headed back to Houston Wednesday evening. I have several tests scheduled for Thursday to prepare for the stem cell transplant. The need to run tests on my heart and lungs I guess to make sure they are healthy and strong enough to endure a transplant. I also have my last FAC chemo Friday! That is the chemo with the "Red Devil" in it. I thank the Lord everyday for how easy I have went through it! Most days, I forget I am even on chemo! I have had no side effects at all, except for being a little tired the day after chemo. Three weeks after the last FAC chemo I will begin a chemo called "Taxol". I will have 12 weekly infusions of this. The first infusion will be done at MD Anderson as I will be there all week that week for scans anyway. After that, I will have them done here at CRMC. Yep, I am a little scared and hesitant about that! I am glad I will be having the first one at MDA so I will know how it should go. You can bet I will be running the show here! I will know EXACTLY what they should and should not be doing. If anything doesn't seem right, they can kiss my a**! I will just have to have them done at MDA. But, I will give them a try.

I was going to post some photos of Raisa and Kevin leaving for the Daddy/Daughter ball, but I haven't downloaded them yet. They both looked so nice! My Dad is doing MUCH better! Thanks for all the prayers! I have been spending some time reading the pslams this past week and have found Psalms 91 quite inspiring! "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust!"-
-psalm 91

I probably won't post again until next weekend. No news is good news though! I will just be busy!
