We are discovering that the term "normal" for us sometimes means unexpected trips to the hospital. Christen's central line was blocked today necessitating a trip to UVA get it cleared. Thankfully they were able to clear it with medicine within an hour or so, and Christen was able to return home by 7 PM this evening.Christen did get to go to some classes yesterday and was even up for attending a Bible study in the evening.
We are hoping that we can stay home until next Thursday when Christen's next chemo treatment is scheduled. Pray that her counts will be up high enough so that she will be ready for the treatment. This next one should not be quite as bad, at least in terms of nausea.
We have been receiving regular meals from various friends, and for these we are VERY thankful. There just isn't time to do much cooking these days, especially for a family of 10.
Thank you all for your continued cards, and encouragements of a variety of forms. It means so much to all of us.
The picture here with Dad and Christen and her sisters is one taken last Saturday when she was still in the hospital.

I am so glad that it was not an overnight trip to UVA this afternoon! The picture is great! We love you all, and continue to pray for you each day.
