Day 2 of Treatment (Uneventful)
Thursday Janurary 19, 2012
Today was a pretty uneventful day.
Kelley went into work today and Carl spent the day with his mom and sister. He did not have chemotherapy today but it counts as day two of the treatment. The doctor did not have new news for us this morning, but mentioned that if he does well with treatments he might be able to come home in about a week for a bit, then coming back for more treatments... We will learn more soon. I know that this is good news for him...because Carl would love to sleep in our bed at home.
Carl was able to get in a few naps today and ate two meals. His apatite is still small, but he IS eatting which is good. When I came home from work tonight I asked him if he walked today and he told me no... So of corse we went for a walk... we walked the big block around the 4th floor, and flew through it. I asked him if he wanted to go around twice because of how fast he went around...he told me no, he just really didn't want to walk so he was going to try to get it over with faster. (at least he went for a walk!)
One week ago today is when we found out Carl has Cancer... in 7 days from today they will be testing to see if his cancer is in remission....I can not believe how fast it was before he got really sick, and long we have already been in the hospital.
Today was a reflecting day for me (Kelley) I was driving to work this morning thinking about how lucky I am and how much my husband is fighting right now and about all of the things that we will do when he is out of the hospital. Then of corse my good friend Martina McBride came onto the radio and made me cry... I loved this song before but it is even so meaningful to me now....
"When you're weak, I'll be strong
When you let go, I'll hold on
When you need to cry, I swear that I'll be there to dry your eyes
When you feel lost and scared to death,
Like you can't take one more step
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I'm gonna love you through it.
And when this road gets too long
I'll be the rock you lean on
Just take my hand, together we can do it
I'm gonna love you through it."

ReplyDeleteYour uneventful day...was filled with events! It is great to have a rock to lean on...just make sure that Carl's rock stays on solid ground. Take care of yourself too, Kel! I am so proud of both of you in all of this!
