Almost the end of one more day. We have really learned to take one day at a time here, today was a good day. Tucker slept most of the day, if he wasnt sleepin he was eatin!! They are really amazed at how good his appetite is.(which by the way is a terrific thing). Not much going on. Tomorrow is a different story tho.
Tomorrow starts the second round of chemo. It is also the stronger chemo. This one will make him feel nauseoeus, tired, probably make his hair fall out(what little there is), could possibly cause sterility, & can possibly cause bleeding in the bladder. to prevent the bleeding they have to increase his fluids so the meds dont sit in his bladder. Because of that they have to strictly measure all his "ins" & "outs", what he eats, & how much he goes to the bathroom. Unfortunately because hes a baby, in order to do that he has to have a catheter put in. That sux! Its going to be a bit of a rough couple days so please say extra prayers!!
There isnt alot to do in this small hospital room & Shawn & I are here w/ Tucker. We are really learning alot about eachother & about life. We have to work as a team, we are learning patience w/ eachother, we are learning that we really do love eachother,We know that god does listen to our prayers, & we need to have faith. We know that we are truly blessed to have this most amazing "little man" in our lives. I think most of all we are learning not to complain. Truly if you ever think you are having a bad day, just come spend a day here in the oncology unit w/ these kids & parents, you will think twice about complaining!! I do honestly appreciate everthing I have so much more!!!
