The Scoop.. per Tuesday

Hi All, Yesterday was a very busy day we woke up and went to Sara's real doctor appointment ( meaning a doctor that has a plan to save her life) if you can imagine it was music to our ears.. the whole reason we are here to begin with!!! Dr. Lin is now Sara's Oncologist he is from MD Anderson in Houston and works directly with Dr. Yao ( the doctor we were striving to get in with in Houston).

Dr. Lim admitted me into the UDUB hospital, we're trying to stabalize my body.  I haven't been able to eat whole foods for ...... ????? I can't remember.  So I am on a heavy liquid IV diet to try to get me to stabalize my weight.  I've lost 10lbs just since I've been here.  Sarah tried to go get me some pants that wouldn't fall off... and bless her little heart, she thinks I am a size 6.  Well I'm not that small, especially by H&M standards, but I feel like I did when we used to go to Cali and had a hard time finding a swimsuit for the tall lanky girl with no boobs.

This skinny sick girl is just waiting for someone to tell her... "take this pill, it will make all those mean tumors in your liver go away".... but I don't think that is going to happen.  So now I start to learn what it means to live with cancer.

I'll give an update today what's happened since I've been here....

    To my dear friend and colleague...I know the warrior within you and I'm sending you LOTS of love and bullets to battle this thing. Your presence, smile, and funny wise cracks are second to none around the office...so, it's kinda boring! Focus on healing your body and come back soon. Your mind is strong, and your tenacity is even stronger! Kick cancers ass! You are one of the strongest women I know. I love you kiddo!

  7. Hi Honey, Well I am all packed and ready to hit the high road to Seattle the minute I get the word! Your real Mama said to wait until she needs relief....I am soooo happy she is with you, we all need our Mama, nothings more healing then a Mother's love, we can move mountains ya know!Sara, I am thinking of you every second of very minute,and chomping at the bit to get over there to see you and hug you, it's that other mother in me, can't help myself. I'm hoping that the Dr.'s are figuring out the right approach to this an getting on with it. I'm anxious all the time wondering and waiting , thats the hell on this end, waiting and wondering, as I'm sure it's ten fold for you and your parents and sissy and brother. I love you sooooo much Sara and you must kick this in the ASS....I was told the other day by a colleague of your's , you were like taming a wild horse (loved it, that's my girl) so get to it girlie,kick some royal ass!Sarah C. can barely deal with not being by your side and will not be satisfied until she is right next to you again, I am sure Jennifer is also feeling the same way, and lets no forget Chelsea, she hasn't even been able to get to you yet like myself, so we are just waitin until we get our okay....Oh we cannot forget Marla either, just thought you'd like to know the pose' is ready for you....I understand Con-ass is there now?Boy the things that crawl out of the woodwork when the goin gets tuff, tell her Mama Lou loves her too, and we'll see her soon if she is still there.Well baby girl just wanted you to know I'm always with you inheart and soul and I hope that their figuring out things as I'm on my way and if they think Sarah C. is a load in there pants, they ain't seen nothin yet, as I'm the Mother load he-he! I Love You Tooooo Much, Mama Lou
