So Matt slept the whole day and most of the night yesterday. Nurse Sandy was finally able to kick his butt out of bet around 2:30 a.m. to start to get ready for some laps around this floor of the hospital. He was also ready to eat. So at 3 a.m. I head off to Whataburger for a ketchup only burger. Get the burger back and when he opens it, there is MUSTARD. Really Whataburger, you can't do this one order right for somebody who hasn't really had solids in 2 weeks, really!!! So back up I head where the guy argues with me that the receipt shows it is ketchup only, but he won't look at the burger. Finally I have to show that it is yellow "ketchup". Oh, were bad, he says. So 15, long minutes later I have the right burger and head back to the hospital. Matt was sitting in the family waiting room, ready to eat. He finished 3/4 of the burger.
Matt, at 7:30 a.m., is still in the lobby sitting up in a chair watching tv. We want to keep him up as long as possible, but I've finally headed back to get some nap time.
Dr. came in and he and I have had a long talk about what is next. We are confident the results will show remission, but Matt just can't believe until he sees the test results. We are going to be getting some help for Matt for him to see mentally the gift of life he has been given. Dr. says that we will get Matt hooked up with other young folks who have a much worse time with cancer than Matt has had. This hopefully will be helpful to group talk about stuff.
So I'm expecting a great day today. I'm praying we get home tonight and back to some sort of normalcy this week. Of course we still have several months of chemo to get through before he truly kicks this for good, but the worst of this is over. It's only going to get better from here on out.
Even after we get home, please continue to watch for updates on this blog and please continue your prayers.
Love to you all!
