2 B&Ps Today

Matt received two bags of blood and two of platelets today.  This seems the earliest after chemo that he has gone in to get double doses.  He had to pre-check in last night, to help speed things up today.  So it only took from 10:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. today.  All the sweet nurses came to say hi to him.  In and out they went.  Some of the nurses now know us for both Matt and for Terry's gall bladder surgery a couple of weekends ago.  So the new nurse must have really been trying to figure us out.  (Again, we may now have earned a room to be named after us at this point....if the number of visits counts for any votes.)

That seems to be what our crazy life is all about these days, waiting.  This month we will be waiting to see if he needs another chemo or not.  Waiting to see if the injections to boost his white count faster will work.  Waiting to confirm the past five months have been worth all the pain and that he is truly in remission.

Today, my little niece was wanting to see me.  She had come by my office with her mom to deliver Arbonne stuff but I was at the hospital with Matt.  So she pestered her mom to come up to the hospital.  I met them out in the waiting area.  She asked about Matt but wanted me to know that she didn't want to look at him.  It apparently has to do with his lack of hair.  The last time she saw him must have been around Christmas when he was completely bald.  So that is all she remembers of him.  When he finally came out to meet us she covered her eyes (but was peaking through her fingers) to take a good look at him.  She still didn't like it, even though his hair is coming in now.  His hair is coming in really black and course feeling.  I think I see some curls beginning.  That will be a very interesting look once it really starts to grow.

Tomorrow if a regular dr. visit and labs.  So praying all counts are back on the up swing. 

Thanks to everyone for all your prays.  I know they are working so please keep them up.

Love to you all.
