Got some rest
This morning we are in the calm, my family is sleeping, and as usual I am up with the sun. I am actually back at my chair following a morning bikeride through Queen Elizabeth Park and the surrounding neighbourhood. It was great to get some fresh morning air… from waht I understand that is pretty hard to come by in much of BC and Alberta these days.
Reflections on May 19
Actually, a calm day. Sam had some mild nausea in the morning and with the assistance of some additional medication was able to get through it and sleep much of the morning. There were the usual visits by the medical team but these were not as frequent as the previous phases of this chemotherapy run. Tina had spent the night at the Ronald McDonald House and she was able to sleep in. I was not able to sleep in the morning but after Tina arrived I had a solid nap.
Concerns and victories
Thankful for rest, in the forms of sleep and activities that rejuvenate (e.g. bike ride for Colin)
Thankful for the medical team here that are taking great care of our boy.
Thankful that it is easy for us to stay with him
We are looking forward to seeing some friends this weekend.
We are ever-concerned that the chemotherapy will be effective
