Well, we made it to 2008. We spent New Years Eve at CMH getting our Chemo. We made it back to grandmas house by 4:30. This is a record for us to get out of CMH. It helped that we were nearly the only ones there. Caitlyn had dinner at Grandmas with her brothers while Jason and I went out for a quick dinner. The snow was so beautiful that evening that the kids and I had fun walking up and down our block in the picturesque snow scene. We also had fun ding dong ditching a few of our neighbors after we sprinkled confetti on their door steps. ( it was only 9pm). They figured out who did it because Jackson went back to tell them who did it. I will never commit a crime with this one.
Caitlyn continues to do well on the outside. Meaning no physical symptoms. It's whats going on inside that has us curious. Is this new chemo working? Will it be our miracle? Well, we will know on Monday she has her next MRI then. So please send some very strong prayers our way. We need a good report. Things look too good on the outside to handle anything less then good.
Thank you for keeping Caitlyn in your hearts and prayers. I'm sorry I don't update as often as I should. But no news is good news. We hope everyone has a good new year. The words thank you are not enough for all that our friends, family, and community has done for our family this past year. When I think back to when Caitlyn was diagnosed I felt a rush of love and compassion that instantly surrounded our family. This came from people whom we knew family and dear friends. It also came from people whom we did not know. That was the most surprising to us. It is so easy to take for granted our live's and the people in them. We do this without intention. It's normal and we all say we want to Cherish life and our families more but day to day life makes that hard. Until something like this hits you and knocks you out of orbit in your own world. This has opened our eyes to the kindness of the world. It is not always easy to see the kindness or the miracles you just have to look at the world in a different way and it is there.
We are moving forward with a new year and new hope that we will have a miracle. For to look back and feel dispair will only make us unable to move. If we are unable to move then we can not see the miracles that each day brings.
