... I am so excited that we are down to the next to the last Momday....next Monday will be the last time that Roy will have to have a 3hr. chemo session. The last time we have to get up at 5:00 to have blood work done...then radiatiion...then chemo. Yea...and thank you, Lord.
This morning was very early for us. But we were through by 12:00pm. Only had to wait 1 hr or maybe just a little longer for the chemo session to start...everything else was early. That's usually the way it goes. We get there a little early and are taken in immediately so then we think the next session will be on time or early and that's when we have to wait...but that's ok....I watch so many patients that look like they feel so bad...and they are having to wait. At least Roy doesn't feel as bad as some of the rest who wait. You can just tell they are miserable and just want to feel better.
Roy's blood work was still in the right range. Infact some of the numbers have gone up instead of down. There again we are thankful and give all our friends credit for all the prayers that have been lifted up to the Lord. I know that it's prays from friends who have been praying for us that have given us strength to keep us positive and faithful.
We have 13 sessions left between now and the 13th of July. Tomorrow Roy will have 2 radiation sessions. And then next week he will 2 radiation sessions then we can go home on a Friday rather than coming back the next week. That will be a blessing.
A little trivia. Roy has had two haircuts since he started his chemotherapy...that's pretty impressive, I think! It is getting thin but I think he will make it without losing all of it. And, the cafeteria at M.D. Anderson will seat 957 people...that's too many sick people. We are meeting friends tomorrow for lunch there. They are here because of other family members. Roy went to college with Jimmy and I have known Beth since the 6th grade. On the 4th of July we will spend time with my college friend Mitzi and her family. Hopefully, Roy will feel like being out and with people. Please keep praying for fewer symptoms or that the symptoms he is having will disappear. Swallowing has been more difficult, that is a result of radiation.
We were able to attend the Rangers game this week-end with all of Holly's(our daughter-in-law) family. Holly's cousin is the bullpen catchers for the Rangers. We have gone with the Vaughn family the last couple of years to a tail gate then the game. This year we waited until almost game time so that Roy wouldn't be out in the heat. But it was still really hot at the game. Tyler and I went to the kids zone...it was air conditioned...left Roy in the heat!
God is in control and holding our hand.
