Chemo has begun....finally

So took an extra long time, 2 + hours, this morning to get the PICC line in Matt.  Then they only put one instead of two lines.  So he didn't come back up to the room until 10 a.m.  Apparently there were still meds to give, blood to be drawn, etc. before chemo finally began at 1:20ish today......he was suppose to start chemo by 9ish, per the doctor.  So don't know where the mess up was, but I hope it doesn't happen again.

I'm home real quick to get changed and up to hospital to spend the night.  I've got lots of paperwork to go through before I meet with Blue Cross/Blue Shield on Wednesday.  I just have been too overwhelmed to go through it all, but I've got my notebook, hole punch and a HEB reusable bag full of bills to sort.  That will keep me busy for more than tonight.

My plan is to be up and home by 4:30 a.m.  Shower and then head back up before the doctor makes his rounds at 6 a.m.  Then head to work to print handouts for a meeting and then be over to the other side of the district by 7:30 a.m. to be at an all day meeting.  Not sure if I'm gonna be able to hold up this routine all week, but I'm gonna try.  (I better get me some Wheaties!!)

Matt seemed to do okay alone today, I'm sure I will hear the whole story of the day when I get up there.  Pray that tonight goes smoothly, we get some good sleep and awake energized and ready for the day.

A special thanks to Shirley from work.  She made two wonderful casseroles for us to enjoy this week.  with me getting home so late this afternoon, this was a great blessing!  YUMMY!

Thanks as always for your continue support and prayers.  Love to you all!
