Last Night I left after rush hour to do laundry, and pick up some items Brian needed. I was in the most peculiar Target Store I have ever seen. It was two floors and it had a shopping cart escalator.
Brian is still having a difficult time with anxiety. He broke his glasses over night and he has a lot broken blood vessels in his eyes, and seriously blurred vision, so he is going to be examined by ophthalmology later today. (not sure how the glasses got broken, but between the blurred vision and fits of manic and anxiety...well...)you get the picture)
The chemotherapy is over, today is considered a day of rest, and tomorrow he will get the stem cell procedure to get his donated cells back. Then it is just a matter of supportive therapy (blood and platelet transfusions, antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals etc...) until his system and bone marrow start to recover. While it can take months, even up to a year for things to return to normal, once his counts start to recover, they will let him go home we hope.
last night I had Stephanie email me a bunch of pictures of the cats and dogs, but instead of cheering him up, it just made him sad.
He's having a hard time of it for sure. It's hard for me to see him like this, I feel frustrated, annoyed and helpless all at the same time.
thanks to Scott's sister Donna and our kind friend Sophia and her husband for their kind donations towards costs here in Philly. It's a big help.
