Sarah's Cancer: Induction finished - Thursday

We don't have the final numbers from the bone marrow yesterday, but it looks like induction is finished for us.  From others that we have talked to, this first month is the worst and we have had a long month.  We are planning on leaving for home tomorrow evening.  There is a slight chance we won't leave until Sat. morning, but not likely.  We are all ready to be home.  For Jess and the kids, it will have been 6 weeks since they were home.  We have loved being here at my parents.  It is nice that we don't have worry about baby sitter's and both of us can go to appointments.  We hope that we can make it work for both of us to continue to go to appointments.  It has been good for both of us to be there, since we hear and remember different things.

We have been on the phone with the Seattle clinic and the clinic here today.  It looks like we will have an appointment for Sarah on Tuesday and on Wednesday in Seattle.  The Tuesday one will be primarily to get acquainted and to talk about whether we are going to treat her as CNS positive and negative.  Wednesday will be her primary clinic day, just like it is here.  I need to read up to solidify what the next round (consolidation) is all about and what the schedule is.

Lilly was able to go to a birthday party of a neighbor.  She has enjoyed playing with the neighbor kids.  It has helped us and it gives her more things to do.  She even got to ride a horse at this birthday party.  It was a "Tangled" theme and she thought it was fun.  She dressed up as a princess and looked cute.

We are grateful for the support and love.  Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts and notes that you have given to us.  I will try and make a quick post tomorrow before we leave.
