If it can difficult, why make it easy?

This seems to be our way of doing things when it comes to Harriett's treatment. For the second week in a row she was too dehydrated to begin the chemo, as well as finding a vein was next to impossible. It can be that way when you are dehydrated. Her BP was also extremely low. Last week that meant we ended up back at her primary care doctor who changed the BP med - but it is looking to me like she's going to have to stay off it altogether. There doesn't seem to be any inbetween. Everyone says she looks so much better when we leave - well, duh! She's down another three pounds over last week. Last week she was down six pounds. I don't know if they do this, but I am so scared that she may end up on a feeding tube if she can't begin to gain weight or at least stabilize.

One of the nurses called in a rep from the Utah Cancer Society to show Harriett some wigs. They provide two free wigs to cancer patients. How cool is that? I noticed a sticky note on one of the wigs with a business name on it. I thought, hm... and looked a little closer and there was another business name on it, too. Both of these business names are simply last names but I thought it was a co-incident that they were the name of the Division that brought us to Utah to begin with and the name of the main corporation over that division that is causing our move to Cincinnati. I commented on it and the rep said, yes, that company gives the UCS a grant for providing the services they do. I felt so proud that this is the company Mark works for! I told him about it when we got home and he said that the golf tournament he was just in was a fund raiser for the Children's Hospital here. Things like this mean so much.

Tomorrow Krissy and I go up to Logan for her freshman orientation. It's so pretty up there but we have to get up and on the road by 6:00am. I am so excited about her going to school in Logan. It's so pretty there and she gets to stay in Utah. At least I have a good reason to come back!
