Normal

Friday is going to be an easy day for us today. The doctors appointment was not to early today. We were in and out really quick today. Only to have scheduled several more visits. Kendall's pain in her legs has increased a little over the last couple of days which could be because of the medications she is currently on or because of the chemotherapy treatments or a combination of both. We scheduled to have another MRI to be done next week to check Kendall's progress. Hard to say until the bone marrow aspiration is done but the doctors feel as if everything is going as planned. Kendall was feeling rather well today so we decided to go to Hobby Lobby and walk around. She wanted to find some stuff to "scrapbook" with. I bought some stuff as well that I will go into later. We then picked up some lunch and went back to the apartment to hang out. Kendall worked on scrapbooking and Tammy began to work a puzzle that she picked up the other day. And I began to knit. Yes, I said knit. You see, this morning when I went to give Kendall her IV, I noticed a more than usual amount of hair laying around the dresser and on the bed. Kendall had said that it started coming out last night. It wasn't so much that you could tell by looking at her but it is definitely coming out. The doctors told us that it would and some said it wouldn't. But either way, Kendall has been preparing for it. Kendall doesn't wear hats to often but does like to wear toboggans.She has been looking for one but has not been able to find one that she likes. So I decided that I would make her one.

As I sat in the chair knitting her yellow toboggan, I did think it looked a might odd, me a 250 pound bald guy knitting a yellow hat. But I don't care. If it will help Kendall ease through the transition with losing her hair, it's well worth it.So when I finished it, it looked....ok. Kendall and Tammy thought it looked better than what it should since I did it. So the reviews were so good, I did another one.

After dinner, Tammy and Kendall wanted some ice cream and Kendall wanted Dairy Queen. The nearest Dairy Queen is on the other side of Houston. So...off we go. Nice little drive that took about an hour and a half to complete. So we get back to the apartment and settle in for the night. It's about time I give Kendall her night dose of antibiotics and her PICC Line is clogged. Nothing would go in. I'm calling the nurse, the doctor to find out what we need to do......and you guess it. A trip to the ER. Just what we needed around midnight. Back to the car, we all load up and take the road trip to the hospital. The ER is not to full, they see Kendall fairly quick. They call in an IV nurse and she finally was able to unclog the line. The nurse said that it is normal that the lines clog up. Well, it wasn't normal for me. I was freaking out. Kendall had to have her medication and I thought maybe I did something to the line this afternoon. But the nurse said it actually happens all the time, it was normal. We get out of there right at 1:00am only to have to return this morning at 9:45am for more test.

On the way back to the apartment, we see a huge Possum in the bushes as we are pulling in. As we get out to walk up the stairs, Kendall yells "Possum" and Tammy screamed at the top of her lungs. All the neighbors are up now. Me and Kendall laughed all the way inside. Tammy was not very pleased. But it just goes to show you that Kendall is feeling real well and I'm glad that things are a little normal.

I also talked to Dylan several times tonight. He was at the football game helping out as one of the managers for the team. I want to thank Coach Myric for asking him to help out. He has been so excited all week about the game and I wish I could have seen him in action tonight on the sideline.
