The Last Bag of Chemo

So, here we are.  The last bag of chemo!  In 24 hours we will be done!  It is hard to explain how excited we are!

It has been an up and down week.  Caleb felt bad a few days ago and was throwing up.  However, it only seemed to last a day.  The next day, he didn't feel great but he didn't throw up.  The next day, yesterday, he felt awesome.  Today, he is not feeling great.  His stomach hurts a bit but seems to be more cramping than nausea.

Tomorrow morning he has his last LP.  It is at 8 am in the morning.  Then, as soon as this last bag of chemo is done we are out of here.  They do a really cool thing when it is your last round of chemo.  All of the nurses line the hall and cheer for you as you leave.  Then they give you a little gift and wish you well.  I am sure it will be very emotional tomorrow as we are leaving.  We can't wait!

Funny how tomorrow we will be celebrating two independences:  our country and from chemo and treatment.  

So, we are working through this last bag of chemo.  Sorry I haven't been posting a ton lately.  We try to keep busy in the hospital because it makes the time go by faster.

I will have pictures and try to post a video of tomorrow.

Grace and Peace
