QUICK CHECK IN....

Joli's in chemotherapy right now and doing awesome. I'm home (Jorge and I alternate overnights) and left in great spirits because Joli was resting comfortably. This round has probably been the best out of all of them -- she's eating well, sleeping well, pooping well (sorry.. but if you check the December 17th posts, you'll see why that is so darn important to us!), and in good spirits. She's been a little lethargic and "flat" as I call it, but otherwise doing awesome!

We always count our blessings while we're there... you know, you think you "have it rough" until you meet any one of those families and children on a pediatric hospital floor - especially the little ones with cancer. Our roommate at the hospital is 5 years old and has leukemia, and he is going through an extremely tough battle for his health. That family is especially in our thoughts and prayers tonight...

Joli will be home tomorrow, and then, HURRAH, round 5 will be all over!! Big party. As Joli likes to say "Oh, yeah, baaaby!"

Thanks for thinking of us. Please say a little prayer, if you can, for all the little kids with cancer out there who are fighting for more than we can ever understand....
