You know it's been a long day when...1) you drive back and forth to med center twice, toddler not pleased, 2) you wolfed down 2 of 3 meals in a mad rush 3) you sat waiting at least 8 hours of the day with a toddler 4) the highlight of the day was a Sams run. Went to clinic this morn, all looked good, waited for a room admit much of day, at 3pm they totally changed tune and sent us and all other admits home. Got home, 45 minutes later they called and asked us to come back. Explanation (of which they gave none, but you find out because you know the nurses): a plumbing problem, a major one. It's funny, but not funny, because it's so crazy, but funny because we have been in rooms here where we had to call the plumber daily to the point of comedy. So, at 11pm, after waiting 2 1/2 hours after we arrived on fluids and chemo ordered before noon today, Asa is getting started. Whee! This will hopefully put us out by Saturday afternoon sometime.
Good news today is that Asa's cancer protein markers are down to 13, that's 1 above normal range. Praising God! He's almost there. He also weighs 22 lbs or 10kg so that pushes him into a new weight range for chemo quantity. He will get a bit more. Please pray Asa stays well. His reaction the past few has been minimal. We'd like to keep it that way. Pray for good docs and nurses. Have a good one tonight and know the day team is a good one as well. Ran into Caroline's mom tonight and she's had a rough day. Pray fungus and pneumonia stays at bay. We will go visit tomorrow.
Thanks today for great numbers, that Asa has crashed for night. Happy the kids at house are better and things somewhat normal. Grateful to visit cousin/uncle Mark at MD Anderson. He was doing well though he had a bad allergic reaction to a med after we left but is fine now. Grateful for hubby who put up with all of the chaos and good lasagna that Joyce made that we saved for this rainy day.
