Sarah had a disappointing but good day today. Her numbers were 0.11. Just on the border but not quite over it. She has to stay another day. The nurses told me that the doctor didn't want to come in the room and tell me. He did start out with "You're not going to like this..." It is disappointing but we want her to clear the chemo and she doesn't get the same amount of fluids through her body at home as she does here when they are pumping a bunch through her port.
She got another bath today. Yesterday, she was at a week of having her port accessed, so they needed to re-access her. We took the opportunity to give her a bath, since she didn't have to worry about having the port accessed. She had fun, in fact she wanted another bath today. It was fun and helped to pass some of the time away.
Jess and I had a date scheduled this evening that I wanted us to keep. We had a dinner party with my team at work. Since Sarah was still in the hospital, Jess had to call around to get someone who could come and stay with Sarah, while we went to dinner. Diana Anderson came to sit with Sarah. She played with Sarah when she got here and Sarah had a lot of fun. She would enjoy it if more people came to just play with her for a little while. Jess and I had a good time at dinner. It was nice to get out with my wife and enjoy her company.
Sarah also got out of isolation today. She has had a cough for a 48 hours, so the nurses talked to the doctors and they took her off of isolation. I think this is a bigger joy for the nurses, because that means that they don't have to gown up and wear masks every time they come in the room. It also means that she could go to the playroom and stuff, which we probably won't get a chance to do this time.
Thanks for all those who help out our family. Thanks to those who pray for us and keep us in your thoughts. We are very grateful.
