Wow. I have sat down to write this post everyday for the past 5 days and every time, I manage to get a few more sentences down. The great despair of my blogging is that I’m never able to finish a post in one sitting! I’m a little bit of a perfectionist and I like my writing to have some semblance of “flow.” Unfortunately, my days are not really conducive to any sort of “flow.” Such is life with a two-year old.

This post started out saying, “Everything is great!” and then it segued into, “Everything is great but there is a shortage of cancer drugs, and that is so scary!” and then it turned into, “Looks like the drug shortage will hopefully resolve before it affects us, but thank you for writing your legislators on our behalf!” Now, the post is just a mess.

All in all, we’ve had a couple of great weeks. We’ve had a schedule packed full with play dates, YMCA visits, library story-time, and playing outdoors (thank you 50 degrees in February!!). We even went to the children’s museum last week [i.e. the germ palace] and, so far, we haven’t had to pay for it with a fever. Clinic visits have been long but uneventful and tolerable for all parties involved. Interim Maintenance #2 is treating us well. Even more exciting is that frontline treatment is almost over! We have three more appointments in this cycle (IM#2) and then we will start maintenance. The start of maintenance is a little bittersweet because she will have to contend with five days of steroids, but it’s a pretty big deal that we will be starting the LAST cycle of treatment (ignoring the fact that it is a 2-year cycle).

I have so much more to write! How do professional bloggers with kids find the time to write!? Less sleep? Maybe I should sleep less . . . ? Elsa’s waking up from her nap, so I guess I will just leave it here for now or else deal with yet another unfinished post.

Finish.
