First Week of Chemo




M is done with his first week of chemo.  One fourth done!  The first week went way better than expected.  He even did a big walk on Thursday with the little boys around our neighborhood.  He was tired that night but bounced back for Friday.


The first day he was coming off a night shift and mostly slept.
The treatment week isn't all bad... turns out there are some silver linings.  I'm so grateful for good friends that have watched the little boys for me so that I could go and be with him for a portion of everyday.  So far the routine is that he goes in the morning.  I get the boys ready and to their spot, and then I meet him in the morning.  I then get stay and snuggle my baby, read and discuss a book with M, and eat lunch together.  Then I pack C up and we head home to get the boys.  I then try to throw in laundry and pay lots of attention to RM and J before B-man gets home from school. 



Hard to be sad looking at her!

These boys need lots of physical play.

Thank goodness you have that beautiful baby to keep everyone cheered up!

I got to hear my whole life what a cheer up I was to my dad when he was at home for many months after a back surgery. Bitter-sweet times.

What sets them apart from other doctors is how much they care about their patients’ well-being; more than anything, they want you to feel as welcome and relaxed as possible in their practice. charlottesville cardiothoracic surgeons
