Day 189

We are going to the clinic this morning. Katie is starting a new phase, called Interm Maintanance II. She will start her chemo at 60% of her last highest dose during Interm Maintanance I, and then every ten days her dosage will go up. This phase will last eight weeks, so by the end of of this phase her dosage will be up a lot higher than the last time, because we are starting at a higher dose. I don't know what else to say about that, because I don't know what to expect. I know that today she gets chemo put in her spine and in her port. Today will be an all day treatment day. I am glad Scott is coming with us for the hardest part of the day today. In 1905, President Joseph F. smith made this statement about true greatness: "Those things which we call extraordinary, remarkable, or unusual may make history, but they do not make real life... After all, to do well those things which God ordained to be the common lot of all mankind, is the truest greatness. To be a successful father or a successful mother is greater than to be a successful general or statesman."
