We're on the news tomorrow!!

Hi everyone, sorry about the long break between posts - I was still having laptop issues, but no more! I brought my laptop in to be fixed and it is literally good as new; Windows has been re-loaded and all the settings are back to factory settings.  I did lose a few photos, but I think we are generally ok.

Yes, about the news... Noah and I have been asked by Ronald Mc Donald House to do a TV interview regarding the new House on Global TV. Live. Tomorrow morning.  I'm terrified. Absolutely terrified.  First of all, I feel a bit like Moses, except that I am rather "quick of speech", as opposed to "slow of speech", lol.  It happens especially when I am nervous.  So, if you find yourself praying, please pray that God will give me words to say and that those words will be intelligible.  I thank you in advance.  Second of all, I don't have anything I want to wear on TV.  I am not prepared for this.  I admit I did spend a long time in Winners this evening, but I only came out with a pair of pants.  Which probably no one will see, but oh well.  I know about them and they make me feel more confident.  Isn't it odd how pants can make you feel more (or less) confident?
In all seriousness, though, I really want to do a good job; there is one more hurdle to jump, so to speak, in the planning of the new House and that is the rezoning of the land on the hospital grounds where the new RMH will be built.  The Vancouver City Council will vote tomorrow night, so RMH and the BC Children's Hospital Foundation want to raise awareness beforehand.  Another Mom, Susan,  from the House has been asked to speak at that meeting.
We will be on Global at 7:20 am.  You can join Tom in laughing at me.  In fact he has already started.  I just talked to him, and he was laughing at me. : (  It's ok, I think I would probably do the same if he were going on TV, I'd just be really happy it isn't me.  Except this time it is, lol.
Anyway, the Hospital is going to give me a DVD of the interview, so for all you readers outside of BC, I will post it here as soon as I receive it.  

Noah's treatments are going well, he hasn't had any fevers, nor did he ever get that cold my parents had at Thanksgiving, thanks be to God!  He has blood work and possibly a platelet transfusion tomorrow, then a Lumbar Puncture (spinal tap) on Wednesday morning along with more chemo that day and everyday until Saturday.  Then on Monday we start another two weeks of Erwinia injections: Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  The second Friday which I am pretty sure is Nov 4, we get to come home!

Last week, Dr. Lucy prepared us for the idea of spending Christmas in Vancouver. I was hoping we wouldn't have to, but at least our situation is that Tom has those two weeks off, so we can be together, where ever we are.  And it will be ok.  In fact it might be really nice.  One never can tell.

Well, I have to go to bed.  I just hope I can sleep with all these thoughts swirling around in my head.  I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow!  Good night!
