With his last dose of the second chemo cycle earlier today behid him, Ryan is back home. He'll need some labs later this week and has an appointment with the new oncologist on Friday. He's just happy to be "free"!
Some nausea and persisting headaches, and of course the chronic weakness, but other than that he's doing well and in good spirits.
MeiLin's 5th grade graduation was today. The top 2 students in each class were recognized; her teacher came up after the event to tell her that she came in third - by a very small margin. She was pleased to hear that.
As the end of the school year approaches, Kaia becomes more irritable. She likes her routines, and as much as she relishes the idea of no school, the lack of daily routines is quite unsettling for her.
In the past month, we've lost much of our routine - especially the parts the girls would prefer to drop. Like piano practice, chores, cleaning rooms, etc. We had a pow-wow today and I hope to get back on track. More for me than for Kaia!!!
Shannon is in North Creek (a village up in the Adirondacks where she used to white-water guide and still has friends) until Wednesday evening. Then we will drive to NYC on Thursday to take her home. So we are short a car. There was an accident and a terrible back-up on the way to Sophia's work this morning. I was dropping her off since Shannon has Sophia & Ryan's car. It took us 80 minutes to make what is normally a 15 minute drive.
I was thinking it would be fun to "do something" in the city with the girls since I have to make the drive anyway. But with 95 degrees predicted, I think it will be a museum followed by a meal in China town, then home.
Hopefully we'll have a little lull here before the next crisis............
