Hello,

What a beautiful weekend.....and despite Morgan's health, we enjoyed the majority of it. She actually played soccer on Saturday and we both ended up taking a long nap. Sleep...what a wonderful thing :). Today, she had a wonderful day with friends...with only one dose of Tylenol!! This is a huge step indicating that the radiation is shrinking the tumors.

The first three days of radiation were tough. Morgan's back was not at all happy with the position the radiology techs wanted to put it in. The only way to get Morgan through treatments was to have plenty of morphine in her system. Yikes!! We made it through though. The struggle was well worth it for last night was the first night in a week or so that she could fall asleep lying down. This past week she either fell asleep while I held her upright or by being propped up by many pillows while on decent pain meds. What a relief (to all of us)!

As far as this upcoming week, it is more radiation and some chemotherapy. The radiation will happen all week...the chemo? I don't quite know yet. It will be done on an outpatient basis...but I do not know the schedule. It looks like she'll get her central line (a port) in on Friday, but will have a pic (sp?) line put in, either Monday or Tuesday, to get her through the rest of radiation as well as the chemo. If her back remains relatively pain-free, maybe we can stop the morphine all together.

Well, it is time for me to get more sleep...thanks for checking in. It may be a bit before I get to a computer so please enjoy the week and try to keep your eyes and heart open so you can take in the blessings each and every day has to offer.

Good night and God Bless,
