and now some bad news..
Dori had a tough day and is back in the hospital tonight. She went to Dr. Kapoor's office today and got a dose of herceptin. Soon after she started feeling bad and had a 104 temp. Needless to say they put her in the hospital. Her surgeon came by tonight to look at her mediport and he thinks it is infected. They will confirm that and then remove it tomorrow afternoon. Dori has been lucky to not have any problems with that for many years and it was inevitable that eventually it would have to come out-however without the port they will have to "access" (i.e. stick a neddle in a vein) everytime she needs chemo, meds, blood sample, etc. She hates that. However, the plan will be to put a new port in the other side of her chest in a few weeks. Such is life at the Johnson home. Vacation is over, it's back to reality.

Disney Reloaded

I have been wanting to do a recap of our Disney trip and finally tonight I have a few moments. It was a great trip. It took a while for me (the Dad) to get used to spending 24/7 with the kids. Not that they ever yelled, screamed or complained! They are kids and most of you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, it was great to kick back and swim with them everyday, watch Jaden's eyes light up when she saw Mickey Mouse, and watching Tait stop three people after riding the Tower of Terror and explain to these complete strangers how when the ride went down-he went up. It was just great to see Dori having a good time and enjoying being Mom. Thinking back on it I think it was extra special because the reality is we may never be able to do a trip like that again and I'm just so happy that we stopped everyting for 1 week and did it. The trip was as good as it could have been. I'm blessed to have such a great family and to have the opportunity to spend a whole week together. I will never forget it.
