Gearing up!

So cutie lans has had a good couple of days. She got another round of chemo dumped in her spine(we'll call it "drano") today and my understanding is she will start with the hard core make-you-sick-to-your-stomach chemo on Wednesday. I guess they are going to continue giving her the Drano twice a week.

They have gotten her pain down to a 1 on a scale of 0 to 10 with continuous meds around the clock. But she has been pushing her pain pump pretty regularly (on 15 minute intervals). I guess the oncologist and the insurance companies are at odds. Insurance says "she's out of pain send her home," the doc says, "umm noooooo!" So I think they are going to try to get her back on pill form meds and see if she can tolerate the pain. They want to get her through her first round of hard-core chemo before they send her home for a few weeks and then bring her back again for the second round.

So my cutie sis-in-law Tiffy said, "if she has to wear red socks she should at least get to wear some fun ones!" I get to deliver these to Lans tonight from Tiffy. Lans is going to love them.

My sis-in-law Jaimee went to see Lans last night too. Lans cute little head had about 3/4" of cute hair on her head, but losing hair in chunks is a bit depressing so Jaim's shaved her head again last night to beat the chemo to it.

We are all super excited for Lans because her childhood bestie and beyond booked a flight this weekend to spend with our leading lady.

Our girl is loved. Jaimee said to me today, "You know I go to visit Lans thinking I want to be there for her, but I come away feeling so inspired by her. I am certain I get so much more from our visits than she does. I am just falling even more in love with her." Couldn't have said it better myself. She rocks!
