So far, so good. Chemo was finally started this morning at 1:30 a.m. We are now about 20 hours in and doing well. Trent slept really well last night-although he kept the room soooooo cold that I was a popcicle all night long! He woke up really energized and feeling good. All day he was doing great and we are so grateful for that!
This afternoon we had a few visitors and that helped Trent a ton! It is nice to have so much great support. By late afternoon he starting getting nauseated and has struggled a little since then. His face is starting to get a little puffy as he is being pumped with so many fluids and he is drinking like there is no tomorrow. Besides being a bit anemic everything is checking out really good right now.
Emotions are still up and down but we just try to hang on to the ups and not let the downs go too low. We will see how tomorrow goes but as for day one...I think we kicked it in the can!

ReplyDeleteI read this quote this morning and though immediately of your family! Glad day one is down!
ReplyDelete"Just when all seems to be going right, challenges often come in multiple doses applied simultaneously. When those trials are not consequences of your disobedience, they are evidence that the Lord feels you are prepared to grow more (see Prov. 3:11-12). He therefore gives you experiences that stimulate growth, understanding, and compassion which polish you for your everlasting benefit. To get you from where you are to where He wants you to be requires a lot of stretching, and that generally entails discomfort and pain." (Elder
Richard G. Scott, C.R., Oct 1995, p.18).
Keep the faith!
