So I found yet another perk about Mda....when you do not have a working computer at home, use the one at Mda! We have a virus on ours and we haven't been home much to fix it. The whole thing is a mess right now, but I'll work on it some day this week for sure....unless I have any volunteers to come sit at my computer and talk with Microsoft, Norton, and Comcast to fix it.....no - no takers to do that and I understand completely.
Anyhoo....here I am. It's testing day. I had labs and x-rays earlier and now Sean and I are hanging out till our 2:30pm CT appt. I'll come again tomorrow morning to see Dr. B for the results. I feel like he will say that everything is running on course as it should be. I am almost finished with the 1st month's dosage of Sutent and hopefully my white blood cell count comes back great so that I can continue on to the second month. I am positive it will!
Speaking of Positivity is Power, let me tell you about camp!! For those of you that were there with me....ice cream and cake, ice cream and cake, now slip slip slip slide, slip slip slip slide......Needless to say, I had the most amazing journey at Camp 4 All with the Rainbow connection. You really HAVE to go to www.rccamp.org to see this. The staff was amazing (but camp 4 rocked it out!!!!), and the kiddos were incredible! The rainbow connection just celebrated it's 25th year of taking kids 6-15 that have cancer, blood disorders, or are siblings of those that do. And the camp is the coolest ever!! Thanks to so many amazing sponsors, these kids get to have one of the most amazing weeks of their lives. And most of them come back year after year....and I met 2 of the sweetest counselors that were campers then Jr counselors and now counselors! Along the way, I made some of the most amazing campers and counselors and made some pretty neat new friendships. When I say that I can't wait for next year, I mean that I really can't wait for next year. Janis asked if she could give out my Positivity bracelets to campers and staff. WOW!!! So every time someone was "caught" stargazing....just kidding....being or doing something positive, she would give them a bracelet and yes, by the end of the week, everyone had one!!!! I really hope they will do that next year.
Will email again tomorrow after I see Dr. B.

Carpe Diem!!
