Round 2 Down

Well, chemo round #2 is in the bag. I much prefer getting the juice as an outpatient. I just show up in the morning, get hooked up to the IV, and then sit for the next 6 hours. So far the after effects have been the same as the first go-round (except that this time I'm taking the anti-nausea meds on schedule so no surprises!). I'm being careful to take it easy and not work too hard this week and hopefully that will help when the bad days hit.


I have to say apologies up front to all my friends with children, but I have decided that I have the best kid ever! Check out what Trent asked to do all on his own. He is just totally awesome. It also makes him look like quite the hooligan on the soccer field. The Hornets had their first official game on Friday. Trent was great in goal again for 1 quarter and although they don't keep score at his level the "goal jar" was stuffed on by the end of the game.


The great grape crush was successful this past Saturday. We plowed our way through a heavy 2 tons of Cabernet Franc in about 2 hours. We're VERY excited about this vintage and look forward to the pressing stage in 2 weeks.

Not much else going on around here. The "A-Team" is doing a phenomenal job raising money for the Orange County Lymphomathon in November. If you'd like to help them out there is a link under the "Links to Great Stuff" over on the left.

Take care!

  2. You two do have one great boy there. Wish we were close enough to see his games. If he is like his father Abbey, you better get used to some interesting plays to say the least. We're glad to hear things are going well, just remember moderation. I really don't like the word, but I'm slowly moving along with the walking, up to 1.5 miles. I'll be ready for the walk-a-thon, we should have good turn out of walkers and like you said, were into raising the money. Love all of you, Jen
