Just came back from the doctors.  Chris sleeping.  So, I will take a minute and let you know what was decided today.  Chris is in a lot of pain so he is going to go ahead and do chemotherapy again.  They may later add radiation but for now doctor needs the PET scan done so that we can radiate the area that has the most growth.  Dr. is also worried about radiating his neck because it will hurt/burn his esophagus, causing more pain.  Chris will have his PET scan Feb. 5th and his port put back in on Feb. 6th.  He was very, very unhappy about having the port put back in but knows that his veins aren't good enough.  He will start chemo Feb 12th.  It will be close to one that he has had.  It's called folfiri.  All acronyms for each of the drugs.  It's said "full fury"  so we had to laugh - good name for the stuff.  He will go in every other Tuesday and get his poison.  It will take three hours there at the hospital and then he will be sent home with a pump which he will wear for 48 hours.  Then we will return to the hospital and they will remove it.  On r way to the hospital Chris and I were trying to decide which day would be best for him to have chemo.  He wanted Friday so that he could still teach Gospel Doctrine on Sundays (which he loves teaching) and I wanted Thursdays because Friday is early out day for elementary.  Neither of us got are way. lol.  Dr. said Chris would be tired on Sunday but should be fine and then the following week even better, so maybe Chris and his team teacher can trade Sundays so that Chris can always have his "off" week off:):)  We scheduled chemo all the way to the end of March which was wayyy weird.  Time getting closer for Meg to leave.  He does chemo Feb 12 and 26th and March 12th and 26th.  So he should be on the mend by April 3rd when we take Meg to the MTC - wow where did the time go????? 
Next week will be busy for us:) between Chris' doctors stuff, homework, Rye work, Tay Jacob and Rye scouts, me helping at the middle school selling candy grams, breakfast with books, family having lunch with kids day at school (on Wed), and the Blue and Gold Banquet for cub scouts - Jacob receiving his arrow of light, webelos patch and his religious knot (exciting stuff).  It's all good stuff:):)
One of Meg's favorite scriptures:  "Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh an anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God."
Love ya, Ricki
