Last night we had a read-through of A Midsummer Night's Dream for Shakescene. It felt good to be back in the world of theater. I have missed it. It was also good to see old friends...
This morning Tom, Mom, and I went to hear George in the "Author" chair in his class. His sweet English teacher (who he has been lucky enough to have for 3 years) said that we should really be there to hear George read his story to the class.
He was the first to read his book and was much more shy than he is at home. He read quietly and quickly passed over the pictures. The story, about a giant squid and the superheroes saving the world from it, had very detailed drawings: Batman was welcomed by all of the people (they raised their arms in the air "Hooray!" as he flew down to the ground), Batman and Aquaman stand on either side of the grinning squid, and the last picture shows the tentacles pulled from the giant squid and lying on the beach while Spiderman hangs from the tree. Superman, who may have been late, is on the back cover.
After kissing my oldest boy goodbye, I marched to chemo #10. My liver enzymes were back to normal. It seems it was again the antibiotics, and chemo was a go. Mom was there for the poke, my friend Nathalie came by next for some Shakespeare talk and an amazing foot massage. Tom brought lunch and then brought me home.
The kids were a little stressed by it, but so were we. 2 more chemos left and a scan on June 1. Only 2. 2. 2. 2. 2. 2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2.222222222
Hang inthere! We are always thinking of you! I love the stories about your children! Eli is walking! so much fun! Patrick is a Dr. now! I hope this treatment will not be too rough. 2 more! Love to all,Virginia
