Kudzu Mudzu!

We haven't mentioned the words "cancer" or "Kudzu" or "chemo" or "juice" in over 2 weeks now. And let me just say, it has been absolutely FABULOUS!

I haven't even really blogged, because, well to be honest, the blog has just reminded me of Chris' diagnosis.

This morning we woke up, put on our big boy/girl panties and headed to the oncologist to get the news regarding the latest scans.

We waited an hour and fifteen minutes to see Dr. Szabo.

Coopie made approximately 15 friends during that time.

We shuffled. We paced. We rocked. We swayed.

Dr. Szabo finally walked in, shook Chris' hand, informed him he was "done", and instructed him to "get up and go and enjoy his family".

We sat looking dazed and confused and instantly started praising God. After a few quiet minutes we followed Dr. Szabo out of the room and he said, "what I mean is that you are in COMPLETE REMISSION."

Awe struck wonder.

Chris will undergo 25 radiation sessions in order to finish the battle and he will see Dr. S every 3 months to make sure the kudzu stays at bay.

In conclusion, best words ever, ever, ever uttered: COMPLETE REMISSION.

PS. For those of you following our "home sweet home" adventure...We placed an offer on the house in Edgewater over the weekend. We dreamed of rocking on that darling front porch, sippin' sweet tea and watching Coopie ride his tricycle in the driveway. I perused furniture stores looking for cute sitting room furniture. I even got a quote on plantation shutters. (Bad Ali.) We started our day with the words "You didn't get the house". Funny how those words don't even seem to matter anymore :)

Here's to Chris' new BIRTHday. Praise God!
