FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never did understand what it meant for a golfer to yell FOUR but I had something in common with Mr. Golfer today when we confirmed with Dr. Christman that Allison will only be needing 4 chemo treatments. I wanted to yell it down the hall! We kind of felt like that was going to be the case, but it feels so much better when you actually hear the doctor tell you that! Its like it becomes "official" or something.

So, we now have a goal to shoot for! Her freshmen and sophomore treatments went as well as could be expected and the junior (3rd) treatment is scheduled for Tuesday, February, 8 at 9am. I'm sure next week will be sort of a drag, the other 2 treatments left a lot to be desired in terms of overall livelihood that first week. I find myself praying for those whose road hasn't been quite as smooth as our's. It must be devastating on them and their families. Father, place a special blessing upon each one even as I type this.

The events of the morning were somewhat humorous...when I pushed the button on the elevator to go up the door immediately opened and 2 women were already in there. I'm guessing they had just pushed the button as we turned the corner. She simply looked at me and pressed the button again to close the door in my face without letting us on! "Oh no she didn't just do that"! I told Allison I was going to punch her when we got upstairs but, being the gentleman that I am, I decided not to hit an old lady today (not that I couldn't have taken her!). I watched her walk into the bathroom and thought about standing at the door and scaring her when she came out...again though, being a gentleman... :)

We found out Allison had BC (still don't like saying it) on a Friday. Today, Friday, we found out there's a light at the end of this ugly tunnel. This weekend will certainly be better than that one in September was. God is good and faithful...He is Jehovah Rapha (the God who heals!)...
