5/25

Ben got his last med for his chemo cycle yesterday afternoon and he had some reaction to it. He pulled through ok and after some blood work they decided to do a platelet transfusion. He reacted fine to that and had a pretty uneventful night. Some night sweats, but not like the last couple nights. Today should be a quiet day, no testing other than blood, maybe a transfusion but he can go outside for a bit and he is going to do some walking around the pod and get a shower.

Tomorrow morning he has a PET scan at 7 am so with any luck by noon we should be headed home! We are both ready to be home in our own bed and able to get a good night's sleep.

We've been FLOCKED!

Nine years ago this summer there was so much uncertainty, would Ben make it through his treatments?  Would I be able to carry all four babi...
