Update for December 9th

Sometimes people say “No news is good news”. I have been busy decorating the house for the holidays and haven’t updated the blog in a few days. Sorry about that.

Laurie has been doing quite well since the last update. She continues to gain strength and is able to get out and walk and do little things around the house. Saturday we attended Forrest’s 5th and 6th grade chorus concert at the Centreville library which we really enjoyed. Saturday evening we were treated to a wonderful home made dinner with a Chinese flair which included fried dumplings, stuffed salmon, fried rice, rosemary potatoes, fruit Danishes and dragon eye fruit. Many thanks to Manda, Jin, and Lulu for that very special treat!

Sunday we attended church in the morning and then came home and Laurie took a good, long nap in the afternoon. We attended Brooke and Ridge’s children’s choir program Sunday evening which always puts us in the holiday spirit. All the kids did a great job!

Yesterday was an R & R day to recoup from the weekend. We had chicken pot pie from Pie Gourmet last night for dinner. Thanks Terry!

We have the initial consult with the doctors of the Oncology & Hematology of Northern Virginia office in Reston tomorrow. We should find out the chemo options and treatment plan then.

I’ll update the blog tomorrow. Please continue to keep Laurie in your prayers as we begin the second phase of her road to recovery. We continue to be overwhelmed by your generosity and expressions of love.
