We are Home ~

Finally have Michael home and settled in for the night.

Day 3 was pretty much the same as the other 2 days; late start, minimal nausea, up most of the night, etc. I was able to get Michael to take a nice walk outside yesterday before he started his treatment. It was a beautiful day. Well as beautiful as it can get in Texas (high 80’s to low 90’s).

We woke up this morning and had everything packed by 10:30 and waited. And waited and waited. We had to wait for Michael to get his Nuelasta shot. With Michael getting his treatment so late, his Nuelasta shot was not scheduled until 10:00 this evening. We did talk the “on-call” doctor filling in to move it up earlier. He was able to get his shot at 4:45. We got home around 6:00 this evening.

We were able to make it home with no Ativan and not pink bucket. However, once we did get home, he had nausea. He is also having some minimal pain. We will see how he does through the night.

We continue to keep each of you in our daily thoughts and prayers and we ask that everyone keep all these beautiful people fighting this dreaded disease in their prayers as well.
