"Last minute" way of life

I was warned that a lot of the treatments would be scheduled and even adjusted pretty last minute during our stay in Seattle and they weren't kidding...that's exactly how it started off. We came Jan 3rd because we were told that radiation started Jan 4th, but got an email the evening of the 3rd from the proton radiation center informing us that radiation would start "later this week." I will admit I was confused and disappointed, but we met with our new Dr that's going to be taking care of us yesterday at Seattle children's and we really liked him. He explained that the medical team here doesn't like to start radiation on the same day as her 2 day chemo, even though some places do that, and so we'll start on Thursday. It's too much to elaborate on all that he explained to me, but I feel like this adjustment in the plan is the best thing after talking with him. Elizabeth's just starting chemo in Seattle children's hospital right now. This hospital has been great so far. The floor we're on is fairly new, and so it's waaayyy nicer than the rooms that we're used to in SLC. We miss the rest of our family, but love being with my parents and brother's family. Thank you, again, and, as always, for the prayers and support. We feel the the comfort and strength of our Savior with us. We pray for you. We love you!
