TIME FOR AN UPDATE...

I have simply dreaded loggin on here and posting. It has been another rough week, and I was not ready to write about it. Stuart Little (my 3 year old pup) went to the specialist on Tuesday. It was not good. After our first meeting, I went straight out to the truck as I could not be in there anymore. I sat in the truck and just dried. Kurt came out a while after to give me a few options. The best option was far out of our budgete. Basically $1500 that day for pictures and tests. Fly him to Saskatoon, and about $2000 for Radiation treatment. Then if he still required surgery it would be around another $2000. And after all that, still no guarantee. Cancer is an evil thing! Since he is so young, some seem to think that is to his advantage, but it is not! When someone gets cancer at an older age, it is usually because of an environmental reason. When they get it at a younger age, it is usually genetic, meaning something is wrong with his body and it is not building the antibodies to fight the cancer. So sad. So at the end of it (after about an hour in the truck by myself) Kurt came out with another option. It wont get rid of the cancer, but could slow it down or at best even put it into remission. Chemotherapy.

We went for that option. He went for blood work the next day, and to their surprise and ours the blood work came back great, not showing cancer at all. Unfortunately that does not mean he does not have it, as he does have a mast cell tumor. But it means his body is not recognizing it, and is otherwise healthy. So now he is taking Chemo. pills daily for 2 weeks at which time he goes back to have his blood checked to see if it is working at all. So please, pray, send good vibes or even cross your fingers and toes for us. I just cant bare to loose him right now. No one makes Mason light up the same as he does. They play everyday. Stuart even started giving him the ball last week. Usually he would pass it to us (an adult) and we would have to give it to Mason to throw. Now Stuie brings it and drops it off to Mason. It's so cute! I took a few pictures of Stu and Noelle today.

That is Stu on the left and Noelle on the right.

So other than that nothing else to report really.

I was approached by a company who wanted purchase a few of my designs for commercial use. So that is pretty exciting. I will fill you in more when I can.

Have you stopped on over to C.D.S.U. yet? Canadian Digital Scrapbookers Unite, a new site for Canadians. Everything is up and running except the store so far. I will be selling my deisgns there too.

I am just finishing up my Canada kit and already have a color swatch and idea for my next project.

Have a great weekend everyone!
