Today was another pretty good day after a rough night last night. I'm so thankful Ashley has been able to stay with Matt the past couple of nights. I think she is better at talking to him in the middle of the night to let him safely voice what is going on right now. We are going to miss her when she heads back tomorrow night.
Matt slept a lot again today, but did get out to the lobby area to move around and get out the hospital room. He has to stay completely masked up while out, but at least he was out. He was up watching the A&M game tonight and then started on another Borne movie.
I was able to sleep in late this morning before heading to the hospital. My friend Kim made it safely from Houston. As soon as she arrived we (Kim, Ashley & I) headed over to the Blood Center to donate blood. Due to Ashley's Navy travels this past year, she wasn't able to give, but I was touched to see one of our Arbonne consultants, Betty, come in to donate. As I keep saying, I'm so blessed to have such wonderful friends. The lady at the front desk of the center said that a few people had come in yesterday to give for Matt. So thank you to everyone who is giving.
Tomorrow is day 7, the final day, of Chemo. YEA!! Again, everything is working so quickly and we continue to pray it is killing off those stinking Leukemia cells for good! Next week will begin the body's fight big time. We know the fevers are coming, but pray that it will be bearable for Matt.
May everyone say an extra prayer tomorrow for Matt. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Love to you all!
Enjoyed my visit w/Matt after church. He was sitting up and laughing w/Kyle & Sara while rest of his family was picnicing on Rudy's in the waiting room. The doctor says the fever will start tomorrow so I'll be praying double-time. Sad to see Ashley head back to the Nimitz.
