Day Twenty Four: Endings and Beginnings

Here we are, at the end of another week of treatment at Oasis. I'm so very ready to have Krissy home for a while, so we can concentrate on getting her well and living our lives with the kids. She will still have a long road ahead of her, and possibly more trips to Oasis, but for now we need to continue her home regimen and gather as much information as possible to help her completely heal. I'm heading out to the airport soon to pick her up, we can't wait to see her again! I also can't thank Lori enough for spending this past week with Kris, it's been huge for her to have someone so close share this experience with her.

So here you have it, their last day at Oasis for the time being. Thanks for tagging along for another week with us!

Well we are coming to the end of our stay here at Oasis, today was our last full day and Krissy had another full day of treatments. She received another O zone treatment, more Kemadalin, Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Perftec, so she had all the good stuff pumped into her before we are off to CO.

Before starting her treatment we headed down to the dinning area so Krissy could get some good nourishment, she was pretty hungry as she didn't have much for dinner last night. She enjoyed a bowl of oatmeal and had a bit of the fresh fruit. I have been spoiled with all this fresh cut fruit here and hope to continue that when I return home. At breakfast we sat with Joselyn, Alicia and her 2 sons who are from Sacramento. Alicia was here 5 years ago going through treatment as she was diagnosed with breast cancer. From what I understand her only treatment was at Oasis. She did do chemo here as well as all of the other treatments they offer and has had a clean bill of health. She is here this time for her followup at Oasis but also decided with her sons and husband to volunteer at the orphanage in Tijuana. What a neat family and how great to know that Alicia is doing so well with her health, gives everyone here hope for sure.

Krissy recieved her O zone treament and Perftec after breakfast so we both read a ton from our books. Krissy finished reading Lovely Bones and I finally started Eclispe, yes for those of you that know me I finally finished New Moon. :-) We then spoke to the Doctors about the results of Krissy's CT scan and the good news is there has not been any growth. Of course we were hoping for shrinkage, however the fact that there has been no growth is very positive. They are going to change 1 thing to her regime at home but are going to continue the same protocol otherwise. They seemed real positive so again continue all the wonderful prayers and positive thoughts for our beautiful Krissy.

After speaking to the doctors we walked to the pharmacy, the weather was a little cooler today, however the sun was shining. It was great to get out and move our legs a bit. Once we returned we went to lunch where Krissy ate pretty well, she had 2 treatments of Vitamin k and Vitamin C treatments after lunch so she knew she needed to get some more good nourishment. After lunch we headed back up to the room so Krissy could continue with her treatment. While waiting Debi called via Skype with Coral and Camryn so that was great for Krissy to talk to them and see their sweet little faces.

Krissy received both doses of Vitamin c and k, in between each we went to dinner, it was a quick dinner as Krissy didn't have much of an appetite after her 1st dose. Sandy and Stan were having a movie night tonight, the feature was Evan Almighty, however Krissy was getting her second dose of Vitamin c and k so I decided to stay in the room with her. I did go get some of the popcorn they were having which was a nice night time snack. Well that is it for today, tomorrow we are off early in the morning to head home. It has been an amazing week to experience, we have had our ups and downs it has been very spiritual and very hopeful. I feel so blessed to have been able to be here with Krissy on her journey to great health and heading home tomorrow to continue Krissy's journey of great health.
