New week, new story

Went to the doctor on Friday...AND...surprise surprise my HCG level decided to go up again. It's at 5.8. This put the doctors in a little bit of a tizzy. They decided to stop chemo for 4 weeks to see how my body reacts without chemo. They don't really know why my levels went back up. They either think its because there is an active tumor (hopefully not), a fibroid sending out false HCG, or my body is still adjusting to birth control. 

I will go in every Friday to get my blood tested, and if the levels continue to rise and they find a tumor, surgery will be done then. Then I will have 6 more weeks of chemo...and hopefully be done. My original goal to be done with everything was Christmas, then Payton's birthday (Feb. 5th), then Eason's (May 20th). Now my new goal of being done with everything is September 26th. One year after I was diagnosed. So I will be able to for sure reach that one.

I made Eason a little tie onsie for St. Patrick's Day. I just used the iron on stuff thinking that would stick enough for one day, but it only lasted until about sunday school. Ha. But he looked cute anyways!
