Holding Steady

It's been a week since I last updated this blog and there's not a tremendous amount new to report. Karen's energy does seem a little bit better of late which is encouraging. It's possible now that we're hitting the four week threshold with the crizotinib that she's easing into the 4-6 week window where maybe her side effects will start to diminish. That said, some days are better than others. Yesterday she felt energetic enough to venture out into the world for an hour or so and we test drove a car. Today, she rested a lot more. That is how it seems to be going for now: a day where she can handle a bit more activity followed by a day or so of recovery. At least the nausea has eased up some.

The rest of us are doing pretty well. Miranda got rid of her money pit VW and traded it in towards a newer, more reliable Corolla. She's taking on more hours at the bakery which is good. Dash is beginning to dabble with Krav and may start taking classes. And I'm working, writing, and spinning all sorts of plates.

Karen has a big blood draw next week followed by an oncology appointment on Feb 1. We may have more to report then.
