These are the moments I live for...
2006. Eating ice cream (what we do best!) while on a horse and carriage ride.
So many more ice cream-eating opportunities ahead.

Martha update:
Martha has been in tremendous pain for the past several months. The pain is localized in her abdomen and wakes her from sleep at night. Even the strong pain medication she has been taking wasn't doing the job. They increased the dosage, increased the frequency, and still it wasn't touching the pain. One month ago, she went to the oncologist to get another CT--and there weren't any changes in the CT since the CT in Jan. So... she was "in partial remission".
Yesterday Martha was in the hospital for a blood transfusions b/c of low RBCs. Last night, they had to call the oncologist because the pain was so bad. Imagine sand paper constantly scraping the inside of your abdomen and add fire, hot sauce, and really pointy nails (think Cruella Deville). They did a repeat CT scan that revealed the little bumps on her peritoneum have reappeared.
So, she'll get chemo every week for the next few weeks. Let's hope the chemo arrests the growth of these cells and gives Martha some peace of mind, body and spirit. Martha is still fighting this cancer with all she's got!!!!
