Sickness

My Mother-in-law has been dignosed with liver cancer. Pat and I met with her last night to hear what the doctor's are going to do for treatment. She will probably have chemo, surgery is not an option for her, the doctor she saw at the Mayo clinic was not a cancer doctor I'm guessing he is a liver type doctor. He is trying to get her in to see a cancer doctor this week or beginning of next week before the chemo treatments start. The cancer is in both the left and right part of her liver. She appears symptom free right now. There is no cure for liver cancer. She seemed pretty upbeat last night. Rachel woke this morning with pink eye. She has been fighting cold like symptoms for about a week. I took her to The Little Clinic and n0t only does she have pink eye, she has a double ear infection. My throat has been hurting all day, along with a headache.

girls' favorite traditions

I think I need to wait till they are older to ask them. Right now they said the decorating the shirts. One tradition Joey had that I forgot to mention is that we gave each child their own nativity set with manager on their 4th Christmas. Joey totally remembers getting his, and he loved it. We wrote what he said when we gave it to him and for the next few years when we got it out of the box, but sadly the box got ruined.
