We ended the weekend with a bang...Chemo over Candlelight!!!

     Sorry, I haven't posted since last Thursday!  It's crazy how many people have mentioned it or shall I say, even noticed that I haven't posted!  Warren had radiation on Friday morning at 6:20am and then we went straight to the airport to fly home to see the kids for the weekend.  We had a nice weekend at home with the kiddos!  Dinner, the new Oz movie, church and lunch with most of the fam on Sunday!  Of course, we miss Jarred!!! Wish we could see him on Spring Break! (It makes it so much easier on us that the kids aren't upset that we are gone!  They may even be enjoying themselves a little too much!!)   Sunday, while we are lunch, Aniston (who is 4, for those of you who don't know) yelled down to the end of the table at me and said, "Mom, when are y'all leaving again?"  I replied with, "Tomorrow."  My litte brother looked at me and then at her and thought she was going to cry.  Nope...the opposite!  She looked at my dad and gave him a big grin (as if she wanted to say, "Papa, the party's on!").  And I think we may be imposing on Maison's "Social Life" when we come home and want to spend the weekend with her!  It really makes is much easier for us to leave and come out to Houston for treatment, though, and know they are happy.

 

Dinner at Bonefish

      So, we flew back yesterday and went straight to the hospital for all of the appointments scheduled for the day.  Bloodwork, radiation, meeting with the nurtrionist and chemo.  We celebrated our 7th Wedding Anniversary with all of these appointments, had a nice dinner in the cafeteria (cheeseburgers and salads) followed by chemo over candlelight while we watched The Bachelor.  he he he he...It will be an anniversary we never forget!!!  (And we have forgotten our anniversary before!) 

Chemo over Candlelight!!! Happy Anniversary!!!  :)

     This was Warren's 2nd chemo infusion so we were a little worried about how he would react this time since last week kicked his butt but all went well!  He slept all night and didn't get sick and felt fine today.  Yay!!!  (It helps that the bed and pillows in this apartment are sooo comfortable!)  He is starting to get dry mouth from the radiation and an acne like rash from the chemo.  All normal and expected side effects.  We met with the speech pathologist today and they gave us more exercises to do daily so I had to come home today and made a huge poster of everything he has to do and meds he has to take daily (most 4-6 times a day) or else I will NEVER remember!  It's a lot of suff!!!

The nutrionist said it was important to eat plenty of protein!!!
