super quick update

Craig is tired but doing good. He is eating meals (probably should be eating more). Home Health comes tomorrow afternoon to de-access his port. I wonder if they will make it in the ice...that should be interesting. Did Craig post yesterday that his billirubin number is still down to normal? It is a .6, which is good. They didn't do a tumor marker yesterday. White blood cell count was fine as well, obviously since he took (and is taking) chemo.

He is upstairs doing a very important job of wrapping my Christmas presents. I am not supposed to go up there. ;) That activity should wipe him out for about... the rest of the day. Hannah is watching him to make sure he is doing everything right.

We don't have another treatment scheduled in two weeks b/c they will do a CT scan on Monday 12/20 to see if his tumor has shrunk. If it is shrinking then we move forward with the treatment plan he is on. If it grew (gasp, don't even want to think about it) then I am not sure what is next. We have an appointment with Dr. Hamm Tuesday the 21st to go over the results of that CT.

On January 10th Dr. Vitale will redo the stent. The one that he has is temporary and could get clogged so they want to replace it with a more permanent one.

Christmas pictures are in so get ready for your Christmas card in your mailbox on the blog.
Emily has dance this afternoon. Hannah's cold is getting better but she is still coughing a lot but it seems like she feels better.
All and all we are doing okay. gotta run.
