November 4 10:00pm

Today had its ups and downs. Worst part of the day was when the Colts lost. Chris fought the urge to go talk to Coach Dungy during the 4th quarter....he figured since we were so close perhaps he would try. :>) The effects of the steroids have kicked in....we have our highs, our lows, and our mean streaks. I am at least a little more emotionally able to handle the mean streaks now than I was 2 weeks ago. Mikayla has a roommate with her who is 4 years old. The two of them are getting along really well. They have made all these "grand plans" for tomorrow either though both of them have no clue that they will not be able to do most of what they want. Mikayla's most common request is food. Every other minute we hear "I'm starving!" No clue to where she is putting all the food she eats. She is scheduled to get an MRI tomorrow and surgery for her port on Tuesday. Will have to wait and see what the MRI shows as to what is going on with the chemo treatment plan. We hope it is the same and the tumor hasn't changed or grown significantly. All the cards and notes you all have sent have been wonderful! We have saved some of them and opened some tonight in the hospital. It gives her something to do and she loves getting mail! Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts! Knowing that there are so many people out there who are thinking of us and praying for our whole family gives us the strengh to get through each day. For those of you who have responded and left comments on the blog - thank you - it is nice to read your kind words of encouragement. - Sasha
