I recently asked Al how he was feeling and he responded with the title of this post. He said, "I'm one sick dude". If it wasn't so pathetic, I would have laughed out loud.
After my last post, I thought we were going to have a peaceful month at home, taking his new chemo pill and relaxing with long talks in front of a roaring fire. Boy, was I wrong! The first couple of days we were home were spent organizing a new slew of meds, catching up on the shows I had DVR'd and convincing our dog that it was really us. And then came Christmas day. Al had become slightly weaker a few days prior to December 25th, but the morning of Christmas, around 4:30 am I knew we were in trouble. By 9:00 am, we were on the way to the hospital in our 3rd ambulance ride.
He was diagnosed with double pneumonia and a urinary tract infection. He is "one sick dude". So here I sit, writing a post that was supposed to sing the praises of the doctors at MD Anderson and the chemotherapy pill and how it was working wonderfully. Well, that post will hopefully be written in the near future. But for now it looks like we will be spending New Year's Eve in a hospital room, our third visit and third holiday in three months.

ReplyDeleteStill praying for your specific prayer request, and still believing. Adding that Al & Cindi have a great New Years’ Eve, even if they have to spend it in the Hospital room.
We love you guys.
