Nothing really new to report

Nothing new to report on really, but thanks for my mother in law last Saturday Jake and I were able to go on another much needed date. Usually we don't go on dates very often, but since Caitlin has been diagnosis with cancer, we don't let her leave the house very much. Also in January Jake's job requires lots of overtime, so that limits our time together too. On Tuesday Caitlin and I drove down to Primarys pretty early since her counts were down and she needed a blood transfusion, it always seems to take forever for the blood to be ready. Anyway everything went smoothly, and she is doing pretty good for a little body that is going through so much. Everyday I wish I could trade her places, at least she is really young. So she probably won't remember much. I sure hope that we get through this quickly, I am not really use to being a stay at home Mom, I am kind of getting a little stir crazy. Thanks for all your support and help through all of this.

More Chemo!

This weekend was spent down at Primary Children's for more chemo. We left Thursday night and spent the night at my Uncle's house since we had to be at the hospital on Friday at 8:15 am for a hearing test. Thankfully it didn't take very long and the results were normal but she seems to have fluid in her inner ear, I think that's what the doctor said. Anyway she might have to have tubes in her ears, which is fine. Then we headed upstairs for chemo treatments, which went really well. I am so proud of Caitlin, its like she just knows that this has to be done. I on the other hand, I am getting tired and bored of hospital stays. I know she needs this, but I also hope that treatments go by fast, so that we can have a semi-normal life again. On Saturday I got a nice little break my sister Debbie was able to get us tickets for the Draper Temple Open house. Everything went well with the chemo so we were able to come back home on Sunday. So all in all, we are just trooping through it.

A nice break!

Well so far so good, Caitlin hasn't had any fevers and her counts have been good so we haven't had to make any trips down to Primary Children's. But of course just my luck the weather has actually pretty nice. On Saturday Jake and I were able to go out to lunch for a much needed date. We went to the Coppermill, which was really nice to be able to be alone and have some time to talk. After lunch we did a little shopping because I needed some new pants and we found some cute outfits for the girls on clearance. After that we went to Grandma Gigi's for a family dinner we weren't going to be able to stay long, but luckily Jake got a no work and so we were able to stay longer and hang with family. Afterward, we just went home and hang out together, Jake helped me give Caitlin a bath, since its a two person job cause her line can't get wet. This week has been pretty relaxing but I still wish that my girls would learn to sleep in a little bit. We have to go to Primary Children's on Friday for a hearing test and for the next round of chemo. Hopefully everything will go really well.

Too Long!

Wow, I will try to catch up on everything. Life has just been crazy, with Caitlin's treatments and the move. Well I went down to Primary Children's on the 29th, thankfully we were only there for about an hour. So that was nice, and the weather was pretty good for that trip. We have also been trying to move into a bigger apartment, since Caitlin diagnosis we have put her in our room so we could keep a better eye on her, but that didn't leave much time for Jake and I to have any alone time. So we found a three bedroom townhouse, that has brand new carpet and a new dishwasher. So thanks to my family we were able to get everything moved on the 1st. I just love our new place they is so much room, now I have space to spare. Oh before I forget Jake and I are kind of party poopers we were so tired and really didn't have anything to do so we didn't stay up and ring it the new year. On the 2nd of January I had to make another trip down to Primary Children's since Caitlin needed a blood transfusion and platelets cause her counts were so low. I had to rush down there, and they it took forever for the blood to be ready. I didn't leave Primarys until 9 pm. Of course it was snowing so I didn't really want to try to make it home, so Caitlin and I spent the night at the Chase suites that is just down the hill from Primarys. Then next day I started my trip home early I was not going to spend another day away from home. Unfortunately I also had to make another trip to Primarys on Monday, but this time they were pretty good to get us in and out quickly. But not quick enough we got stuck in Layton for about two hours, waiting for a bad accident to get cleaned up. I feel bad for who ever was involved in the accident, but I just really wanted to get home. We finally made it home at around 5:15 pm. Right now I am hoping that Caitlin will stay well enough that we won't have to go back until next week. So keep her in your prayers.
