Chemo #8, Day 3

I don't know why, but I am having writer's block. I just haven't been in the mood to post on this blog. I sometimes feel so blah. I know that it's actually a good thing, it helps me rest:) Vince has had more nausea this round than he has in the past. The doctor thinks that he may have a little bug because he was feeling like he had a cold before he got here. They have controlled his nausea with 4 different drugs and they make him so sleepy, but he said he likes it that way! LOL! Actually, I like it that way too, he is pretty happy! It's already day 3 and it seems like it's gone by pretty fast, even for me. Here is a photo of him on the drugs, can you see the smile on his face? He got up to go to the bathroom and couldn't quit smiling and giggling! It was so cute to see his teeth when he smiled! As I write this, he is telling me he is bored, LOL! We will go outside later an walk around, but for now he has to hang out in the room. Dad is on his way to visit us, so that will make things more exciting around her for sure! He keeps us entertained!

On the first day, the Therapy Dog came to visit Vince. His name is Johnny and he is a Border Collie. He was very sweet and he kept licking Vince's hand and putting his paw on it. This is a new program here on the Oncology floor, it just started about 6 weeks ago. Johnny's owner told us that they even encourage family members to bring their own dogs for a visit. For those of you who know Deric, can you imagine him coming to the hospital to visit Vince? Oh my gosh! He would be jumping up on the bed, off the bed, in a circle, bouncing up and down, and it would be crazy! Actually, it would be very fun, but exhausting! But, it was nice to have Johnny visit him.

Grandma Charlotte came to visit us yesterday and brought Chinese food! We can always rely on her to feed us! LOL! It was nice to have some quality time with her while Vince slept. She is the best mother in law that anyone could ask for! Love her so much!

Vince's friend, Chris came to visit last night and we drove to Wahoo's for dinner and it was so yummy! Veronica was here as well. Check out this photo of her choking me...that's how much she loves me! Hahaha! We do have some fun times considering all that we are going through.

Only 2 or 3 nights left! Yay! Thanks for praying!
