Coffee is no longer stable. They have changed her chmo protocol but one of her glands are 33% bigger. So we wait and pray this new chemo reacts with the cancer in her body, she didn’t get her antibody treatment today as they have a bad batch and are pulling all of it until they can isolate the npvisl numbers. Chemo is the only thing keeping Coffee alive. Her throat hurs , she snorea a lot, she only has to have tiny bites to swallow. I feel so bad.

I went to the registration with a friend for the reading association convention. I was reading the convention program and I read all the presentations. There was no presentation that was just for the love of reading, with testing, justice, documenting, why not just let’s have fun reading the books……what is coming about with schools? How did testing take over and the love of a book or reading get put aside. How do you make a nation of readers like that?

Happy ground hog day. I so would like to go to Puxatauny, Pennsylvania for ground hog day. My students and I read about it every year and ate ground hog cupcakes!
