Big weekend ahead

I have a good friend who has a house in Tahoe City, I called him last night and the house was available so we took it for the weekend, our first trip since Emily was diagnosed !! We are all excited about going. We plan to play at the Lake all day tomorrow, and then go out for a nice dinner if Haley allows us :-) Emily told me she wants to go fishing so I think Sunday morning she and I will go do that. We will stop in Auburn on the way home to visit family on Sunday too. I should be able to post some pictures Saturday night or for sure by Sunday.

Besides her mouth/lip sores Emily is feeling pretty good. Her lips are starting to scab up which I think is a sign they are healing but they still are causing her a lot of pain and irritation. Distraction seems to work pretty well, and we have "Magic Mouthwash" to help numb her if she wants. She's not that wild about the numbing sensation either. Magic Mouthwash is a mixture of Lidocaine, Zantac and Benedryl. Mainly she is just waiting it out and dealing with the irritation and pain, typical of how she has dealt with a lot of Chemo and the side effects.

Have a great weekend.
