Good news all round!

It's been a pretty good day so far. First, I restarted the Xeloda pills yesterday morning, and except for some mild nausea, easily controllable with medication, I'm feeling really good. Apparently, it was either the increased dose of Oxaliplatin or the combination of both drugs that was making me so sick.

Even better, my sister, Liz, gave birth to Lillian Esther Smith early this morning. Lillian is a normal Kafkas baby checking in at 9 lbs., 8 oz and 21 inches (not quite up to my 12 lbs 1 oz, 23 1/2 inches, but big enough!) She's beautiful and I'm looking forward to being able to hold her this Christmas when I'm done with chemo and back in Maine.
