moving in the right direction

Things are moving in the right direction. The side effect mentioned previously is much better. Now she's just exhausted as the last few days she really didn't sleep all that well. Now that she is feeling a little better, so we're hoping she gets a good night sleep. It was a bit of a quiet night for us in that she's been sleeping on and off since I arrived.

I saw the doctor briefly tonight and he mentioned that they have decreased the pain meds and steroids quite considerably, so she's definitely going to have a bit of fatigue. Also, the current plan is to do the bone marrow test sometime early next week and then hopefully head home. The reality is though, she'll be here until she feels better and there is no specific time line on that.

TJ is coming back home tonight. I haven't seen him since last weekend, so I'm really looking forward to seeing him tonight.

I know she's received a few packages and cards this week, but we haven't had a chance to review... if you sent something, I'm sure it got here. I'll try to talk to her tomorrow about it and get caught up on everything.

Tough week in the market.... I'm sure hoping we have found the bottom.

OMG, Tom, it will be so great to see TJ after a week apart. I am glad to hear that Anna is moving in the right direction. I am sure it will continue. Anna, you are strong, and full of will and faith. Keep up the great progress.

Hi Sweetie,

I'm glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. We have been praying constantly and we know God will answer our prayers. I'm down in Miami for the weekend and Niko came down with us.

Tom, thanks for keeping us updated as I know Anna has little energy to talk. Glad T.J. is back home, be sure to give him a big kiss from all of us! I have been showing off all his pictures and videos to all my friends and co-workers and at the same time asking for prayer for Anna (there is strength in numbers!).

Our love to all,

Ana, Rey, Bianca and Niko

Max sends a big wet kiss as well!

Hi Guys. Sorry to hear you had a rough week, Anna. Sorry didn't get a chance to check in much this week. The days just meld together and the weeks fly by. Hopefully a new week brings renewed strength, less pain and more sunshine to your days! Have a nice quiet weekend and hope you get a chance to spend a bit of time with that cutie TJ. Thoughts and Prayers,

Yikes, don't get me started on the financial markets! I think we need to give the market some steroids. :)
Have a good weekend.
