Today was his LP (which it is probably his 7th or 8th one) and he seems to get worse at waking up as we go along rather than better. He was a beast today! He was screaming and yelling and it just was not good. It is so hard because he is obviously under such strong medicine so it alters his rational side. Yet, there comes a point where he knows what he is doing as well ane too bad. he tends to not be nice. So, it is hard trying to find the balance of when to be strong and when to let up a bit while he is coming off the medication.
After we made it back to the room, he slept for a bit and it seemed to help. He had a pretty good afternoon but and seems to be doing ok. This chemo is really hard on him and really makes him not feel good.
Tomorrow, he should finish his chemo around 11 am. After that, he will get ready for a blood transfusion. His hemaglobin is a little low so they are getting his body ready to come home. After that, we will be heading home for a couple of weeks. He should start his blood transfusion around 12. It takes a couple of hours. We should not have to wait around too long after he is done but hopefully will be able to leave.
It is a very busy weekend. District Assembly is at our church this weekend, i have a parent meeting Saturday night, and we have interviews for a trip this summer Sunday afternoon. It will be busy.
Next week should not be too bad. I will have work and VBS is happening at our church this week. That will be fun for Caleb and Cully to be a part of. I am also speaking at a young professionals gathering on Tuesday evening with Jeff Gokee this week. We are talking about suffering and where we have seen Jesus in the midst of our suffering. It should be alot of fun and I am really looking forward to it!
I will keep you posted on our day tomorrow. Hopefully it will be smooth and hopefully he will have no more side effects!
Grace and Peace
Still praying for you guys
