First, it is hard to believe that a week ago today we were waking up to a very normal, regular day. We would all give anything to do a do-over and jump back to that normalcy. But with God's help and all the prayers from everyone we will continue to face our new reality with strength to get through this....and come out better in the end.
So Ashley made it in and visited last night for just a while. She will be here today with Matt. We are hoping that will lift his spirits. I know she will be spending a lot of time with him before she heads out on Sunday. She said it got to the point that she had to tell one of the higher ups that they would have to personally call me to tell me why the Navy wasn't letting her come home to see her brother....I guess that wasn't a call he wanted to make. So thanks for prayers in getting her here.
Matt has had real nausea problems and we have tried several meds. Pray today the new meds will help make him comfortable....that is all we are hoping for today is being comfortable. I don't think I was prepared at how quickly the chemo would take effect on Matt physically. So hard to watch any love one have to suffer.
So good news for today. Dr. came in to say white count is down to 1.4 and should be zero by tomorrow. Matt will begin blood transfusions this morning. So Chemo is kicking some serious butt.
The nursing staff here is great. They know just the right things to say to Matt to get him to do the littlest things for them. Eat a cracker, sip water, get up for a bit....something mom can't get him to do right now.
Please pray to stop the nausea today. Pray blood transfusions will do what they are suppose to do. Pray that something taste good...even a teaspoon full of something. Pray for the staff. Pray for comfort.
Love to each and everyone one of you. May you have a great day.
