Bath Time!
Hi all – Nicole is putting Sally down and then she and I are going to go on a date (or grab a quick beer if you want to take the sexiness out of it) as my sister is here and the kids are all asleep. Nicole went out Thursday night with some friends and […]
Development
Hi all – Sally and Nicole returned to Memorial Sloan-Kettering today for her continued treatment. She received a high level of fluids in the morning via IV, and then the chemo in the afternoon. Nicole says she was very tired and slept a lot during the day, although she did manage to get some PT […]
Day of Bad to Good
Hi all – In short, the overall theme of our day was things went from bad to good. 1) Our morning was a rough one. First off our two goldfish, won at the local carnival by the boys this weekend, were found dead in the bowl by Nicole this morning. “What do we do?” she […]
Papa
Hi all – the day started out well at the Kabel homestead. Sally was up when I got back from a run and we got to hang out in the kitchen together while making breakfast and getting the boys read for school. She sat in her chair and did a lot of talking and smiling […]

Our Small Town
Hi all – Nicole and I took a mental break from Sloan Kettering and the blog the last 48 hours. Everything with Sally is fine, we were actually just nervous that we may have to bring her into MSK as she has some irritation where her food tube was surgically installed a week and a […]
Home Til Monday!
Hi all – at work so this is quick, Sally cleared all of the chemo out of her body in record time so is home until Monday! This gives us a much needed break, especially for Nicole. We were both exhausted last night so did what had to be done and went to bed. Nicole […]
Paranoia
Hi all – worked late last night so didn’t have time to update. Sally had a good day with Nicole at MSK, spending another day in isolation receiving fluids to flush out the chemo she received on Monday. So far, she has been in less pain and overall much happier than last week’s treatment. One […]
