Lots of Support

We have had some much support over the last couple of weeks. Ryan and I personally have had sitters for the kids, dinners brought, and lots of moral support. Thank you to everyone. Knowing that people are there really makes this time a little easier. I know Jack and the other kids have had the same. They thank everyone too!

Now on to today's report. She got infused with the chemo again today and finished a long EEG. No real results from that test yet. They are looking to see if there is any seizure activity. There was really no improvement as far as her being responsive. While we were there this evening, we had no physical responses from her. It is really hard to see her like this and not be able to talk to her.

The doctors met with Jack and the kids this evening. They are going to go ahead a try the Herceptin chemo treatment tomorrow. This is something that she hasn't had yet in this setting. A different type of chemo than what they have used this week. Here is a site about the drug Herceptin.

Cindy has had Herceptin before, but not like this. This is a big deal because doing this treatment directly into the brain and spinal fluid hasn't been done very many times. The doctors don't really know what is going to happen. But, the current treatment is not working. The family was in agreement that it was worth a shot. They will do this tomorrow, and then probably again on Monday and see what happens. We are all hoping for the best.

Again, we are asking for lots of prayers. I will let you know what happens tomorrow. We are not sure what time the treatment will take place. Thanks for reading.
