Today I'm grateful for...
My mother-in law being here to help us through this difficult period

Lulu feeling a little better today
Lulu has not been too feeling well since her chemotherapy treatment on Friday. She's been complaining that she feels like she has the flu, and that her body is very defensive of the new drugs. She also is having hot flashes frequently. This evening she spoke that some of the symptoms have gotten better, and that she's called the oncologist about whether or not this was normal for the Taxol chemotherapy treatment? Apparently, Lulu was told that all these symptoms were to be expected, and she should get better within 2 or 3 days? I'm in awe how she's been handling all this. Many friends that have seen her comment that she looks so great, as that might be true, I know that she isn't always feeling as well as she looks. I'm really praying that the sickness goes away soon?
Lulu and I have been struggling a bit with our feelings for each other. I've hurt her feelings with some thoughtless actions this last week, and she and I are working on what it all means to our relationship? I'm sure the stresses that we've both been under lately haven't helped us in being able to deal with the feelings of self doubt? I know that we need to bare all the issues that "scare the hell" out of us; like, Lulu's health, her future care needs, success of the treatments and surgery(s), how we will care for the kids, what's going to happen at the office, and how we will address all our financial needs. Tonight we plan on putting the kids to bed soon, and spending time discussing these issues. (it reminds me of those monthly meetings we once had on finances and savings). We badly need some alone time to grow closer together, before we drift further apart.
Lourdes is really growing fast. When you hold her she makes eye contact, and many times she will look around the room trying to focus on any object within 3 feet. She has scratched her face a few days ago and has a ouchy right between her cutie, ocean blue eyes. We put her new swing together on Sunday, and she's found that it's pretty cool (and so do we think it's cool, because she's quiet while swinging). It's interesting how some babies love swinging and other cry when they are placed in one? It looks as if Lourdes is going to be one of the babies that likes motion to relax her? I feel slightly guilty, because I haven't been spending much Lourdes and Daddy time together lately. I'm hoping to make up for that the next two days now that I have gotten some of the pressing issues completed (and the others I'm putting on hold until next week). And also because Lulu's mom will be returning the Puerto Rico tomorrow.
I again want to express my sincerest gratitude for everyone that has either signed up or brought us dinner. My palate has been woken up! Also, for all that has offered or helped in accommodations for Lulu and I during our stays in SF for the treatments. Without the kindness of you all, we would have had a much tougher road to recovery. Thank you!
