Another one in the W column! Today was another good day overall. The doctor came to see Trent about 9:00 am and we decided it was best to lower the dose by 25% today and see how that goes. So around 11:00 they started the chemo again. Trent did really well up until about 6:00 when he had a rough bout with nausea and a bit of vomiting. I think the smell of his dinner did him in. So we are going with cold foods for awhile.
The Mathisons came today and brought some church music. We put it in right after they left and it made such a difference! Later Eric and Bro. Roper brought us the sacrament. I am so grateful to have that experience today. It was just like any other day but having the sacrament made it Sunday.
We called the kids and talked to all of them. How we miss them! We cried like babies when we heard their sweet little voices. Trent hadn't wanted them to see him all sick and with tubes everywhere but after that phone call it didn't matter. I am going to pick them up tomorrow and bring them up to the hospital for a while. We just need to be together. Rasmussens are strong (as Mallory would say) but we need each other too!
This evening Trent was feeling good enough to play a little Farkle and it felt really good to put my mind to something besides cancer crap. I was surprised at how hard Trent was shaking the dice! It was fun but I totally kicked his tail. That's okay cause today Trent kicked up on cancer pretty good today.
