Feeling Yucky

Grant actually enjoyed watching tv all day in the hospital.

Grant had a visit to the Grapevine clinic today. He got a good report from Dr. Heym and his numbers were good. This week is a week "off", meaning he doesn't have to get any new chemo. He finished up a week of steroids today, THANKFULLY. Those steroids just make him not feel like himself. Since we came home from the hospital, he has asked everyday to take his nap. And then he asks to go to bed at night between 6-7. He has been eating as often as we will let him. He is bloated and uncomfortable and is losing his hair again. It is so hard for us to see him so miserable and not wanting to do any of his normal activities. Nobody is having fun, but we are counting down the weeks until Grant reaches the maintenance phase. It still won't be a walk in the park, but it will not even compare to what he is going through right now.

Grant has another appointment next Monday where we will plan to continue with treatment, which will be 4 weeks. However, he does have to have an ANC of at least 750 to continue at this point. Please pray that we will not have any delays and can move through this phase as fast as possible.
