Whomever gave us a hand in boosting our energy and mental capabilities today - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.  We started out slow this morning, but Michellie went to school for the whole afternoon, and then had a friend over and a sleep over.  What a turn of events.  David finished his project ahead of schedule, and Michelle managed to spend the whole afternoon and evening preparing a paper for publication that is due on Friday.  This was the first work Michelle has done in almost two months, and there was a lot of humming and key slapping going onto the computer.  So, thank you to the angel(s) that made this all possible.

We are still up in the wee hours of this day, and we will be heading to Antigonish at 8 am.  The plan is to hydrate Michellie for 2 hours on IV before the chemo this time, and then to keep her overnight in case anything should happen.  David will keep the cats company, and will wait to see the girls arrive home on Thursday morning.

Thank you everyone for your wishes as we complete Round 4.  If today was any indication, we will let Round 4 go down with energy to spare.  Hugs and light to everyone.

For anyone else battling with cancer or illness or dis-ease, Michelle discovered some interesting visualization techniques through Qi Gong this afternoon.  If you know where the cancer or ailment is, imagine each of the cells in a series of colors.  Think about taking a deep breath and filling the cells with white, then red, yellow, green, and then blue light.  As you approach the exhale, visualize black being dispelled from the body and released to the universe for cleansing.  Take as many breaths as you feel you need to build up the positive energy in your body, and make sure the last breath you release with this visualization leaves you full of a rainbow of light.  This is great for relaxing and re-energizing as well.  Enjoy!
