I am so proud of Luc. He did so much better Thursday night and Friday morning than he usually does. He stayed much calmer and tried to focus on positive things and the things he has to look forward to. His nurse, Mitch, and the Child Life Specialist, Mike, also noticed how much calmer he was. This made accessing his port and preparation so much easier.
Dr. Lemons came in to see us yesterday. He gave Luc an early Christmas gift. He told Luc that, after this treatment, he gets a break for the holidays. He doesn't have to have his next treatment until January!!!!! Luc had a perma-grin on his face. I'm with Luc, I could not be happier. In January he will have another MRI to see if there has been any tumor progression.
Luc decided to allow them to give him the "sleepy" meds because he wanted to just sleep through his treatment. These meds are for nausea, but seem to cause Luc to be more nauseated. At least he can sleep more and the time will pass more quickly for him. It took him a little longer to get hydrated this time and so I hope we will be able to go home on Tuesday.
Ron is doing very well in his training in NY. He has received a 92% on both the tests he has taken so far. We really miss him and can't wait for him to arrive home on Friday.
Cecilia and Zac are being spoiled by their grandparents while we are in the hospital. I am so grateful for their willingness to help us. They love their grandkids so much and so their grandkids love spending time with them.
I am so grateful to be a mother. There could be no greater blessing than being entrusted with these "noble and great ones" of our Father in Heaven. What a sacred honor and responsibility it is.
