Because I'm sick of that video!

I've got a long post to write about MC's visit to Philadelphia the weekend before last but the children need to go to bed and I'm beat.

I do, however, have the energy to put up a few photos of the weekend so that my banging around in the kitchen is not the first thing people see when they come to the blog...

In short, the photos below are of MC and Ingemar after his graduation from Lower School(clearly just so sick and tired of having his picture taken). The last photo is of Ingemar winning the Fine Arts Award. That's the headmaster in the background with the conspiratorial expression.

So, here goes...more later!

More to come from the superhero herself......

When I asked if instead of doing that he would be willing to "follow me" - after all he can take a little scope and go up and look around quite easily - he said that he would, but would prefer that i have more surgery to remove the dura separating the sinus from the brain, go up and sample the brain and build a new dura. Then he would watch me monthly. After much hemming, hawing, talking with friends who have had cancer, a cancer coach, and an alternative cancer specialist, I have decided to go ahead with the proton radiation and cisplatin chemo for a 6 week period in Florida. Tom and I leave Sunday for a meeting with them on Wednesday. After a CAT scan, it will take them 2 weeks to get everything arranged and i wi...
