TGIF

Wow, what a week. It didn't go totally to plan.

Monday Darell's heart test didn't take as long as we had been told it would. That was a good thing. After the test I took Darell home to rest and my mom and I took David to Co-Opp.

Tuesday was an easy Doctor's appointment at the endocrinologist. Darell got to go with his Aunt Kelly. She took him to the girls school. He had a great visit with them.


Wednesday was busy. David got to go play with Justin from Church. He likes playing with him. I took Darell in to have his Port installed. Well they had a hard time finding his vein and he was poked several times. The surgeon sent us to have chest x-rays when he was discharged. This was an extra trip we luckily had time for. However we could have spent that hour and half doing something else. Better being safe then sorry. He was ok so we picked up David and went to Darell's next appointment. My mom met us and took David with her so David wouldn't have to go with us. Darell's eye is 50% better from the shingles. Darell got a super shot of steriods when he had surgery so that is helping him get over the shingles. After this appointment we got to go home for an hour. Of coarse I had work to do and Darell napped. Our last appointment was with the oncologist. The doctor was running late again. How late is late? 1 hour and 15 minutes. Yuck. The doctor decided to wait till next week for Darell to start chemo. Darell was soar from having the port installed and is still recovering from the shingles. Darell will have to stay on his shingles medicine throughout the chemo process to keep them from re-occuring. Our next week started getting very busy again. So we called for help!

Grandma is flying in from Arizona on Sunday. She is going to help us make it through the next 2 weeks. I am exhausted and just can't keep us with my boys. I need help.

David has a fundraiser at preschool tonight. Nana has helped us with this. Thank you Nana.
We haven't made weekend plans other then picking up Grandma Sunday morning. Relaxing sounds great. We'll see.

Have a good weekend

I don't know how you're doing it. I wish I could be there to help you. I'm glad your Nana is able to fly in and lend a helping hand. Things sound so crazy with ya'll.

I will pray.
