Nothing really important to share today. Beth's ribs are a lot better. At this point we are thinking it's not a broken rib but more of a bruised rib or a pulled muscle. She sneezed today and didn't scream in pain, so that's good.
We are really just waiting. Waiting until we go back to Chicago next week for them to check Beth's tumor markers. We need her tumor markers to be less than what they were last month. Lowered tumor markers means that this new chemo is doing it's job. Elevated tumor markers means bad news.
A couple of positive things about this new Chemo.
1. It's oral. No more sitting in a depressing wing of the hospital every 3 weeks with dozen of other people receiving treatment. It's really a sad and bleak place.
2. Her hair will start growing back. Actually, she already has some peach fuzz starting to come in.
3. Mosquitoes don’t bite her. Pretty sure this is because of the Chemo. They get a whiff of her poisoned blood and move along.
Lastly, as if our lives didn’t need more chaos, we now get to be tortured by having to be in the car while this guy learns to drive.

We feel your pain with the whole driving thing....When did our kids get old enough to drive? Wasn't it yesterday we were all at Lynnhurst Park telling them not to eat the sand in the playground?
