I am sad that today we won’t get to celebrate my father-in-law’s 80th birthday. It is a big one and it makes me realize how important family and health and the opportunity to spend time together is. I am glad to know Matthew will go see him and step up and represent us. It is a sign of his maturity that he unfortunately is being forced into. I am thankful that all of you that have been checking in with me are understanding of the situation we are in. We are grateful for your continued thoughts and again although everyone wants to help and do something, there is almost nothing that we NEED at this time. Of course everyone wants to feed us, but Daniel and I are on such tight food restrictions at the hospital that we can’t take anything here. Matthew and Rob on the other hand, once again they are living like bachlors. If you threw some slop on the front door step they would probably eat it. No, just kidding, but anyone wanting to check in on Matthew for dinner once in a while would be nice. I know everyone has assured me that I shouldn’t worry about it and that they are taken care of but I swear I worry more about them than Daniel sometimes. What do they say, a Mother’s job is never done. That is another part of my typical day…worry about Matthew.
Most importantly, today Daniel still feels good and I haven’t seen signs of him slowing down. We will get lab results back this afternoon of how the current chemotherapy is metabolizing in his system and if it needs titrating or not. We are comfortable that everything is going as planned and this is what they expect for Daniel.
