quick update

Still working on getting cruise pictures uploaded to the website. Hopefully this week.

This morning we are meeting with the LAUSD (Los Angeles Unified School District) doctor to discuss Elizabeth's possibility for starting first grade next week. All she wants right now is to go to school, and she never has. I'm getting her in.

On Friday, the 15th, we will have the dreaded "what the hell is going on with massive increases in tumor marker levels" scan. I'm terrified. Please pray that whatever is there can be treated, either by surgery or going back on Sutent.

On the same day we also have Elizabeth's IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) meeting with LAUSD. We are hopeful that everything will go smoothly (but prepared just in case it doesn't), and that Elizabeth can start going to school for a few hours a day next week. Without knowing the results of the scan and how bad her cancer has spread, we don't know how long she'd even be able to attend school. She wants it so bad, and I want to give her as much time being a student as possible.

Take care and thanks for the continued prayers.

Let the princess know that we were happy to see her on Saturday night. It was a good birthday gift. Her scan has been on my mind this week as well, and we're praying for her. Take care. Hopefully school will be a possibility for Beth. I can't wait to hear those stories.

With love,
Ayesha and Erik
