time

hello everyone. it's been a while since i've posted an update. things have been a little hectic with my work schedule lately, so haven't had time to sit down and write..... havent had time for much at all.

anna's continuing to make good progress. she's had a cold the past week or so, which has slowed her down and made her feel a little crummy. but, what's amazing is that she was actually able to stay home while she had the cold and didn't have to go back to the hospital. with everything that is going on with chemo, her immune system is pretty weak and something like this could have put her back in the hospital, but she was able to fight it off.

treatment is continuing forward for her. it's just a weekly checkup and then chemo pills for another two weeks or so. then, she's back onto a little bit more of an intense program but nothing like what she's been through.

anna's been staying home these past few weeks. on the alternating weeks when my mom isn't in town, TJ has been going into the city to stay with her parents. that process is getting tougher and tougher. when we drive him in, he knows where he's going and starts to get real upset about it... which in turn, makes everyone else a little upset as well. it's real tough to drop him off, but it is what we have to do right now. we're trying to figure out some other plans for the spring and beyond, but it is what it is for now.

it was tino's birthday this past week. we tried writing to his new owners, but didn't hear back... i'm sure he's doing well.
