People have emailed that they can't leave comments any more. I am not sure why but I am looking into it. This blogger thing has about a billion setting options and it is like reading a legal document.
If some professional blogger has any advice email me.

We are doing pretty good. Craig is feeling good and meeting some peeps for lunches this week. I wish he had some volunteer work or something that he liked to do. He was such a worker bee at the bank before all this cancer crap went down. I don't see him breaking out the soccer ball any time soon, and you can only watch so much sports on ESPN so he is kind of stuck sometimes in between treatments. He is not a big reader either. Whatever, he will get through but he is feeling pretty darn good.

Hannah is trying to crawl much to her mama's dismay. The first baby you are so excited to see what they can do. But by the third you know what they can do and get into and most the time you are not looking. I was on a call yesterday and Hannah got into a whole box of tissues. I don't know what the deal is with tissues but all my kids have thought that was the thrill of a lifetime taking all the tissues out of the box and making a pile next to them. Oh and she was chewing a piece like gum. Anyway she is scooting backwards and she gets stuck under furniture. fun stuff.

Anyway there is not much to report. Craziness at work. Emily is doing great. All the sudden she is a grown up. Gets dressed on her own in the morning, all homework for the week is complete on Monday night. Craziness. She talks and walks like a girl not a preschool. Insane.

Morgan is still having her ups and downs but day by day we are working through some of them.
We were reading through good ole Love scripture (love is patient, love is kind...) at the dinner table and it went fine last night and tonight every time I started to read Hannah (7 months, keep in mind) would let out a holler and then laugh. So much for getting through that little exercise to prep for Valentine's Day. What a goofy kid (already).

I am still irritated but not quite as bad as last week. This week I was wondering WHY? Why couldn't this be a liver disease that is controlled by diet or Hep A or B. Those are all diseases that might cause jaundice (which was the deciding symptom in seeking medical help). Why this mess? Is there another option here that we can could from the google list?

I finished my book but I think I am going to read it over and over and over.
I started it over last night after I had thought about the diagnosis yesterday. I felt like I was moving backwards. I think I went straight to acceptance and now I am going back through the stages of grief. off track... so I started the book over and the last line of the first chapter reads:
"More important than the question "why" is "who." Whom do we trust? Whom do we run to when life is unbearable? We are finally led not the the answer but to the Answerer."
 (Living with Thorns Mary Ann Froehlich)
Yep, just what I needed. I doesn't matter the answer to "why," we will never get that answer but "Who" does matter.
I really want to plan something fun. I am so tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop. It is hard to shake the 6 months thing. It feels like we are bound to this prognosis even though Dr. Hamm lifted it. It is still hard to make plans. You want to throw something out there but really who knows where we will be in 3 months, 6 months, a year.
ugh.
Wish I could get a dose of Kim, that nurse in the recover room when Craig had his port placed. She kept saying you just have to keep moving. Keep making plans. This is your life. These doctors don't know everything. Wish I had her on tape. I don't want to visit the hospital again to run into her (you have to be careful what you wish for) but just to hear her perspective again would be good. We are just in a "now what?" spot, but you don't even want to ask the question "now what?" b/c since October it really hasn't been great answers.
Uplifting? No?
Well I have to go to bed.
At least the CATS won tonight. Can't stand that orange. Don't all you TN friends post a bunch of goofy UT comments.

GO Cats!! and GO away cancer!
