For 24 hours we watched two of these huge bags of liquid drip into my sons veins. After 24 hours, they give an antidote every 6 hours until this chemo clears through his body. So we all hang out with Jethenro at the hospital as much as possible. Discharge will be late tonight.
This new hospital does have advantages, but disadvantages also. We will let Jethenro decide which hospital he wants to go to in the future. He had his blood checked today, because he seemed a little anemic, but the lab results showed that it will probably be next week before he needs another transfusion. We have an appointment for the blood check next week, but no chemo planned until Nov.1. ...when we do this again.
The doc told us that in January Jethenro can go to school in the classroom. So he will be registering for his classes soon. Fortunately most are on line, but still my mommy heart is reacting to this news as if my child is going off to school for the first time as in kindergarten or 1st grade! Gasp! Gulp!
Wow! Will pray for all to go well with school when the time comes. Will also pray for the doctor to REALLY know what is o.k. for Jethenro to do! I'm sure he does. . . but I'm with you on that "Mommy heart" stuff! Have a wonderful Sabbath, all of you. Sending hugs your direction--and prayers in God's direction!
ReplyDeleteGod bless your mommy heart. Praise God for taking your son and family and you through this valley. What hope, that he can resume school in January. My mommy heart is singing right now.
