A New Week

Hi Everyone,
We hope all is well with you! Thank you for all of your support, phone calls, emails and prayers. We are thankful for each and every one of you.

This week Will be a very important week for all of us. Fede will be having 4 tests/scans to re-stage his cancer. So we will know if the chemo is doing it's job. Of course we believe it is and hope and pray for the tests to have a positive outcome. Tuesday Fede will have his third endoscopy. This one is with an ultrasound and can really see through the esophagus. He will be put to sleep for this one and he is relieved about that because the last one he had in July at UCLA, he woke up twice during the procedure and it was really uncomfortable.. He will have this done in Pasadena and we trust the doctor will do a good job. Friday he will have a cat scan and an MRI and next Monday a Pet Scan. Then on Tuesday of next week we will meet with the surgeon and discuss the results of all of these tests. So we will have a better idea of how Fede is responding to the chemo and if surgery will be in the near future.

Since Fede's third infusion 2 weeks ago he has been feeling pretty well. The issue with his feet has cleared up and he is enjoying the days of feeling "almost" normal. He is eating ALOT and gaining the weight he had lost over the last 9 months. He looks great, his hair had started falling out but stopped and overall he is doing amazing on Chemo. He even played tennis with his dad yesterday and had a great time. He has been so positive through all of this and wakes up enjoying each day with his kids and family and friends. He says how happy he is to spend every single day with the kids and watch them grow daily.
In the midst of all these trials, so many good things are happening too. Fede's dad and brother came out to California and Fede couldn't be happier to be with them during this time.. We are all so happy to welcome Chase and Carolina's baby to the family. Their baby boy arrived on Saturday so we are thrilled to have a new nephew to love, and for Lucia and Mateo to have a baby cousin to grow up with here. And our families have opened up their homes for us and it feels so great to have all of our families' support. Also Lucia started preschool and is having a great time and making lots of new friends. She is adjusting well to all the changes and is growing fast too. Mateo has been such a blessing, he is a super happy baby and goes along with us everywhere. He is starting to crawl now and is just growing too fast!
We'll let you all know how this week goes. Thanks for all your prayers and support.

Love, Marci, Fede, Lucia and Mateo
