Today was 86th annual St Jude santa visit. :) Santa comes here twice a year- In july and in December. It was fun. Thanks to ALSAC Jennifer, Local Fox13 news did short interview with us How we feel about Santa and presents and family. :) Thank you Jennifer.
Now back to business. Regina is feeling very weak and tired most of the time. If I compare this round with other 3 ones, this ones hit her the most. She has been sleeping constantly and not actincg like real Regina. Last night her knees hurted. Today she is doing better. Morning started with vomiting, nurse gave her some fenadrin( sp) nausea med. After she got it , she fell asleep. :( Poor baby. She feels so bad she even don't want to talk to anybody. :( Nothing seems make her happy . Tomorrow everything will be over. No more hardcore Chemo.
Gabriel is doing good. He talks a lot about CA. He misses daddy very much and wants to go back to school. :)
Sija is taking care of Gabriel most of the time- Thank you evil Sister.;)
I am worried sick about how everything will go after we leave Memphis. Hospital really feels like second home, and I don't mind spending days and nights there.

Sadly enough, nothing is easy.
It's not easy to go to Memphis and it's not easy to leave.
After you get home and settled back into your "normal" life (whatever normal is these days), it's not easy to go back to Memphis for followups.
The good thing is that once you get back, you will be amazed at how rapidly Regina gets back to looking and feeling like herself. Looking back at your time in Memphis will go something like what happens after you give birth, you forget just what it was like until something brings it sharply back into focus.
But then again I'm the one who wrote the book on how to be a neurotic parent, the book nobody should ever read...
The chemo cycles can be easy or difficult. The effects are sometimes cumulative. Steven became increasingly depressed with each cycle, falling into terrible depths of despair while he was hospitalized, we were seriously worried about his state of mind.
Once he was out of the hospital and they stopped all those nasty poison drugs, he rebounded like nothing had happened.
BTW, I was noticing that Regina still has hair and eyebrows-- Steven didn't have a single eyelash or eyebrow when we finished chemo.
Give Regina a hug from us, and her adorable little brother too-- I've never met him but in the photos he always looks so happy and cute, hopefully having him there with all of you is a good thing.
Happy No Mo' Chemo Day!
How well we remember ours.
Now comes Regina's time to heal, the rest of you too.
