Long Beach Airport

 

A BIG day today for Mr. Blue Eyes. First a really special visitor, Hanna, came. She has had lymphoma two times and is now Cancer Free.  She is amazing, strong, and beautiful.  She has been heaven SENT and much like an angel. I have felt like God just shared this tender mercy having her come to comfort and talk with Mr.Blue Eyes and me.  For me as a MOM, there are not words for how much it meant to have her visit. He got to see the other side — to know someone else like him. He did not feel so alone today! She talked to him about how they were both strong and special. She shared that she went skydiving when she was done and healthy; she encouraged him to pick something and look forward to it happening. She gave him a homemade cozy silky blanket to help keep his head warm. She hugged him and loved on him. I was lifted higher just watching this happen. It is so easy to sometimes forget that our struggles and trials bless others when we care enough to risk and open our hearts to share. It is a great, great thing to never suffer alone. Thank you, Hanna, for sharing your love and experience with Mr. Blue Eyes.
Then we had a quick trip to the Long Beach Airport to pick up Grandma and Aunt Annie (my twinner) and baby Ella who came to help out for the next 5 days while treatment #4 of chemo takes place. He loves having them here. We all do! When they called to say, "We are on the way,"... I broke down in tears of relief. There is nothing like family.

Mr.Blue Eyes has continued to eat and eat. He is like the very hungry caterpillar. I think he had close to 3000 calories today! Four pieces of toast, 1 bowl of cereal,  2 xx-large burritos, fruit, rice, watermelon, yogurt, chips, treats, and of course Tapatio. We are amused by his hunger and need to eat constantly. He is like a small monster if he is not fed well!!! We say, "Bring it on!" It will help him get through the next few days of not eating so very much.
