Good news...bad news...

Good news!
My time in Houston will be cut short and we will be leaving at 8:00 am tomorrow! Home 6 hours earlier to my boys!
I should be able to enjoy the Christmas holiday and not feel crummy like I was expecting!

Bad news...
No treatment this weekend due to having blood in my urine. They think this is from the Avastin, but since it hasn't cleared up they don't want to give me more drugs and have it get worse.

So...I will be heading back to Houston next week to see Dr. Subbiah on the 28th. If the blood has cleared up I will probably get day 1 and 2 treatment and then come home. If it hasn't they will admit me and have urology do a scope of my bladder to see if something else is going on.

That's all for now, and keep those prayers coming!!! Have a Merry Christmas!

Love, Meighan

Sorry for the delay

I know many of you have been waiting for a post for quite some time now beings I've been home since last Sunday.  Sorry for that, but I guess I've just been enjoying the comfort of my own home and time with family and friends.  This week and a half at home has been great!  I've been feeling good and bad, really just depends on the hour anymore.  I've gotten out almost everyday to run a couple of errands, but being on my feet for too long takes it all out of me and then I'm down for the count for awhile.  This past weekend I went to Evan's wrestling meet in Audubon on Friday night, Evan and Linsey's Ugly Christmas Sweater party on Saturday night, and Sunday supper at Lamp's house.  Monday I got to surprise Brayden by picking him up at preschool and it was priceless.  He was all sorts of confused because he didn't think I'd be home until Christmas, but he was very happy to see me!  Mom and I head back to Houston tomorrow for treatment on Friday and Saturday and then will be back on Saturday.  We were a little concerned with whether or not we'd get to Houston with this weather and cancelled flights, but we got an early Christmas gift yesterday.  My uncle Mike called and offered to fly us down and back on his company's jet.  SO...no having to deal with security, waiting in a germ filled airport, or worrying about cancelled flights...we will be getting to Houston and then be able to leave right after my treatment is done on Saturday!  This is the BEST Christmas gift I could ever imagine and makes going back down to Houston at this time of year a lot easier to handle. 

Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers and from our family to yours...may you have a blessed and happy holidays!

Jerrid, Meighan, Brayden, and Mogi
