Not much going on, which is good. Lauren has been in a great mood this entire week. She keeps getting more and more energy as the week goes on. She still can't keep up with Marissa or her cousin Kiera, but she is trying. It's kinda too bad that she starts chemo again on Wed. Last night we've lowered her Dectron (steroid) to 1 1/2 mg a day. This is the lowest its been since she was put on it. It makes us nervous, but it would be nice to get her off steroids, while she doesn't have the 'roid rages as much anymore, she still can't seem to get enough to eat, so she is gaining a lot of weight and it's not helping her constipation. You know it's a problem when she wakes up at 2:30 am and starts telling me what she plans on having for the breakfast in the morning. Her breakfast consisted of a bowl of cereal, followed by a waffle, then toast, some can peaches, and chocolate milk. She asked for Top Ramen, but we finally cut her off.

For this weekend, we are planning on spending most of Saturday in the pool (car temperature yesterday read 111 degrees) and then maybe go to Disneyland early Sunday before it gets too hot, depending on how she is feeling. One last treat before her MRI on Tuesday and the start of 3rd cycle of chemo on Wed. Please give Lauren the strongest prayer or wish you can make between now and Tuesday that her MRI on Tuesday shows positive progress, we need all the help we can get. Thanks.
