Entering Interim Maintenance # 2

Sarah has started the second to last phase of the "intensive" treatments. This also means that after this round which lasts about 60 days, she is going to finish up with the hardest round yet. I say this because she will be on steroids and be getting radiation. I have been trying to gear myself up for the next round, even though I should enjoying the ease of her current round (no daily chemo, just weekly). Just trying to be prepared! We have such a wonderful support system through our church/ward and friends that we are never in a rough spot for long. Many thanks for ALL your service and sacrifices offered to our family! I have said this before but...we could NOT do this without your love and support.
When Sarah and I went into the clinic on Friday, we found out she needed to get another nasal swab so she could be tested and hopefully cleared from having RSV and Rhinovirus (common cold) viruses. But, as luck would have it she still tested positive for both, even though she has not had a fever or any consistent symptoms. We decided it was best if she stayed home from church nonetheless. On a positive note, we had sacrament brought to house so Sarah, Lilly, and I could take the sacrament this week. Lilly ended up not going to church due to a mystery fever the night before. It was nice to take the sacrament, I hate missing it-thanks bishop! Well, we are finally on the up and up now; so maybe next Sunday we will all be at church!

Another big development is we are MOVING. It is bittersweet, the condo we are in now is awesome but lacking a yard. Also, the owner of our unit is going through foreclosure; so it is time to move. We had been looking for another place for about two years, because we are trying to stay within our current ward, but have not been able to find the right fit. Either the home is great but the yard is no good, or rent is too high for what we want. So, we decided to broaden our search to Shoreline and closer to the Seattle Children's hospital. Guess who won? Shoreline! We hope to make the move early next month.
Thank you ALL again for your kindness and ever present charity-We love you!
