A Long Day

Today has been a long day. Ryan had a doctor's appointment in Greenville this morning at 8:00, that went well and we got out of there in about 20 minutes. We then had to head to Miami Valley so he could get his lumbar puncture and his chemo. This was supposed to be an in/out procedure, maybe being there around 2 1/2 hours. It was scheduled for 9:30. We arrived and checked in and got sent to the outpatient care area, and then the confusion set in. Ryan's nurse called radiology (the department doing his chemo), but they didn't have him on the schedule. Because of a scheduling mistake, it took about 3 hours before he actually got the procedure done. Then we waited another 2 hours while he had to lay flat on his back before he could come home.

He was pretty tired when we got here and rested for a little while, but I needed help with Aubrey too, so he tried to play with her a little while.

Supper didn't go over too well with him and he's gotten sick a few times tonight. I ask that you pray for a good night's rest for everyone. Neither one of us slept very well last night, and we both could use a full night's sleep. Aubrey is doing well. Her mysterious rash has gone away, still not sure what it was or if it might return, but for now, she's well.

Ryan has another outpatient chemo tomorrow, this is just a push of an IV bag into his line so hopefully we'll be home sooner tomorrow than we were today.

Pray for strength.

  2. From experience, I know your blog only relates the tip of the iceberg as far as the exhaustion, stress and frustration dealing with a long term illness, medical miscues and family responsibilities.

    You are constantly in my thoughts and prayer. May God continue to support you and comfort you as you walk this journey.

    Peace and love,
