I know everyone is waiting on pins and needles for the results of Christopher's CEA markers - and I am happy to say that they have dropped to 1094 (a 166 point drop)! About two months ago we found out that Christopher's numbers had risen due to a small growth in one of the smaller tumors. This lead doctors to change some of the drugs that Christopher is on and as we can all see the numbers have dropped which is a good indication of more shrinkage. However, we have to wait another week or so for the CT scan to give us visual confirmation.
Now that we have that out of the way, I wanted to blog about something else. For those of you who say Angels don't exist - I would like to stand from the highest mountain top and tell you, "You're Wrong."
Recently, I made the decision to get a lawn service to cut our grass for the summer months. It was a hard choice for me to make. Christopher loves cutting the grass (and I really mean it when I say he loves it), but at his last treatment about two weeks ago, I watched him sit in chair and have no energy to do anything. As I have blogged before, day 1 of treatments is the hardest day on Christopher. He feels stoned and out of his mind (a side effect of the new drug). By the time day two rolls around he tries to cut the yard while Ethan sleeps - which have been very short naps due some back teeth trying to come in.
SO, I looked around - emailed a few people and found a company that gave me a good deal on lawn service. While I was waiting for what day he would start us on; low and behold I got the following email from him.
Denise,
This Saturday we will be coming out to your house to clean it up and
start your lawn maintenance! A little angle sits on your shoulders and
has made arrangements in your behalf for the services.
Thank You,
David
I personally don't remember telling anyone that we were even getting lawn service this year. I was trying to keep it under wraps and the few people I did tell, I don't think I told them who we were going with.
So for our Angel or Angels out there - Thank You from the bottom of our hearts. Words cannot express the gratitude we have for you.
We have been so blessed to have these and other angels in our lives.
Thank you to our Angels who gave us a car when ours died.
Thank you to our Angels who pray for us and our situation.
Thank you to our Angels who bless our lives daily.
From our family to yours - Pax.
