August 21, 2007

David received his first round of chemo yesterday. It was about a 7 hour process. A long day.

The little guy did great. He was happy and active the whole time. Rob and I learned several important things about how to care for him once we got him home - including how to give him a daily shot.

I alway find the days at the hospital the hardest to handle. It is so heavy being there around all of those very very sick kids. By the time I get home, I am super tired. I am finding it almost essential to have Rob there with me on those days since he is my best moral support. We are hoping that he will be able to be there each time.

During the night and this morning, David has been somewhat fussier than normal. He has a hard time staying asleep. I think this has something to do with being a little more gassy than normal - likely a side effect of the chemo. He is currently trying to sleep on my shoulder. I would love to be able to take a small nap today since last night was a little rough.

What a cute kid. I love you guys. Isaac looks like the old man in the picture you posted. Maybe it's the haircut. Everything will be fine. I'm praying for the baby and and all of you. Sometimes I doubt my own eyes but I don't doubt God hears my cries.
