Paige has been home for awhile, but went back to Dartmouth tonight with Ben due to a fever. Her immune system (as is normal after each round of chemo) is very weak, so it's not surprising that she seems to have caught something. She would have gone up tomorrow morning to get blood and platelets.
She has a funny new habit of calling Luke "brother." Though they still fight alot, they also have fun together. Tonight they were deeply absorbed, sitting side by side in a chair watching Finding Nemo. And earlier (of course while I was on the phone) they were nearly frenzied, jumping on the couch, hollaring and laughing and wrestling. They seem united in the phone conspiracy.
Her next, and last scheduled, round of chemo is right after her birthday (which is March 26). It is so bizarre to think that this may be it, that after the last round we may be done with chemo (and possibly cancer) forever. I'm almost worried to let myself hope.
I am so blessed with my little family. Thank you all for praying for us.

well, I'll definitely be praying that the 26th is the LAST of it.
Good Sabbath :-)
I love that she calls Luke that - how very Quaker of her :)
We're still praying!
