Team Corban

A very fun morning for Mr. Blue Eyes. It is the big Chemo Day and some Amazing family members made us all...
Team Corban T- shirts.

Thanks Amers and Rach! First we went over to the clinic to visit with Nurse Georgi :) for some blood draws, picc line dressing change, labs, and then a checkup by the Doctor. Grandma and Auntie got to come. That was very special for Mr.Blue Eyes. They got to meet the doctor and see what he does every week. It was, as always, entertaining to go to the doctor's appointment because our doctor IS SO STINKING FUNNY.
Later that day, once we checked in, Mr. Blue Eyes' blue-eyed brothers came for a visit at the hospital so they could be involved with his treatment and journey. They liked visiting, and it was good for them to see where Corban is and what the kickin' booty treatment is all about!!!

 

 

 

 

Chemo started two nurses later (Julie & Anne) — it was a long wait. At around 10 pm it started! Mr. Blue Eyes was loaded with a fancy patch to help nausea — Zofran and Ativan. By some miracle, he did not get violently ill like last time, he just has not felt good. The night was long. I was up about a dozen times with beeping from the machines, and Mr. Blue Eyes was constantly using the bathroom because of the amount of fluid he received to keep his bladder and kidneys healthy. We survived and will forever be grateful for tender mercies of a day that felt like it would never end.  We are home now, very tired, but doing great overall!  Thanks for the thoughts and prayers... they worked!
