Honore: Tell me four things you’re thinking about right now, what should I write about tonight?
Tom: I’m sleepy ….I’m sleepy….I want to go home…and I’m sleepy.
Most of his answer was with his eyes closed too :) So, that pretty much sums up where Tom is at! We had another tough day of chemo but he powered through and stayed on the strong anti-nausea medicines all day. We are SOOOOO close to Round 3 of chemo being complete – we just need to do one more treatment tomorrow and then we have one more night at the hospital are on our way to Round 4! I am hopeful that his early symptoms don’t make Sunday – Tuesday worse than they already are, but the doctor led me to believe that likely won’t be the case. She also thinks another blood transfusion will be in our future. Yuk. Tom needed some supplements today because some of his counts were low, but hopefully that will help perk him up a bit for our last few nights here.
Tom wants to be anywhere but in this hospital – I couldn’t agree more – but a few days in the hospital leads to millions more outside of the hospital so we continue on. It’s been a hell of week so far and we are exhausted, so a brief post tonight, but more to come tomorrow...
23 Days until Chemo is OVER!
