Act 2, Scene 1. Successful! Just like the movies. The chemotherapy treatment went as scheduled yesterday. Except we were able to go home a little early. As the nurse was hooking Kendall up on the IV's she asked if we wanted to go home and do the treatment. What does that mean, Kendall asked. The nurse said that Kendall could receive the first doses at the hospital and then can carry a portable pump to receive the second dose. Well, that one didn't have to have any second thought. As Kendall was receiving the first dose, the nurse explained to me how to operate the pump for Kendall. It wasn't really hard to do. Push a button. I thought I had enough experience to handle that. When 11:30am rolled around, we were out of there. It's a good thing, I guess, the waiting room was extremely crowded.
Back at the apartment, me and Tammy cleaned a little bit more and sanitized everything. Jessica and Sierra were flying in tonight for a weekend visit.
Sorry there's not much today, the Internet was not working last night when I got ready to post. We are leaving to go to treatment but I wanted to let you know how the first day went.

ReplyDeleteHappy Day TK,
ReplyDeleteThe good news just keep rolling in. The Almighty and His Angels are watching and smiling as you proceed through this maze.
Today's thought..."God gives every bird his food --- He just doesn't throw it into the nest." - Unknown
By now you guys know what to expect physically and are prepared for that as much as possible. It's the mental and emotional stuff that's so hard. Now's the time you have to settle in and work. Like Daryl said "practice." There is only one place where success comes before work and that is the dictionary. But the blessed thing about all of this is that God gives us everything we need to accomplish His will. We just have to open our eyes, minds and hearts.
There's an old saying that God won't give you more than you can handle. Mother Teresa added to this, "but I wish he didnt't trust me so much."
Prayers for giggles and a fun weekend, safe travels, no complications, mental determination and emotional strength. Praise to you Lord for all the blessings and love. Please grant peace through this next phase.
Lifting you up
Randy, Tina and Nicolette
That IS good news... I just can't get over how "relatively" smoothly Kendall's treatment is going. God is good. Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Glad to hear things are going good. As always, ya'll seem to be handling everything with exceptional grace (and we know where that comes from). We will continue praying that round two goes as smoothly as one did. I know with God holding you in HIS hands it will. Much love, Anne & Chuck Belcher
