Good Day.

Today was a good day for Donnie. He was up and about and feeling pretty good. A lot of visitors came to see him today which was great because then he wasn't as bored. It made his day go by a little bit faster. I didn't get here till about 11:30am because I wanted to spend some time with the kids this morning. I was gone most of the day yesterday and I was missing them. I'm use to being with them constantly and them with me but lately between doctors appointments and now this, I just don't see them as much. Which makes me sad, almost guilty. Sometimes I just feel like I'm spread too thin. Yesterday if I wasn't in the car I was at the hospital and if I wasn't at the hospital I was taking Brody to and from school. It just feels like most days are like that lately. I want to be with Donnie but I want to be home with them too. Kinda sucks but Donnie needs me and those kids our resilient and they'll be just fine. I just wish I could be everywhere at once sometimes. Anyway, enough of my bitch session. I'm happy that my husband is having a good day and that my kids are with people that love them!

Speaking of my kids, Now that all my family has been pitching in to watch the kids during the day, Brody has been saying, "when are the babysitters coming?"haha like they are some strange people that he doesn't know coming to watch him. He seriously thinks its like the greatest thing ever, he loves it! It's like a mystery game, who's coming over next? Funny boy.

Donnie had his Intrathecal Prophylactic Treatment at 6:30pm tonight, it was suppose to be at 3:30 but it was really hard to coordinate all the doctors to be there at the same time. They had to have Donnie's Oncologist, an Anesthesiologist and a nurse. The Anesthesiologist had to give him the anesthesia and remove the fluids for the lab and his Oncologist had to administer the chemo. They just inject the chemo through a needle in his spine. Donnie said it wasn't too painful it was just a really uncomfortable pressure but he did fine and it was over in about a half hour. They also left out the part that he had to lay flat on his side for 4 hours, which was kind of a bummer. He missed dinner because his procedure was originally suppose to be at 6. So he didn't order dinner because they would have brought it right in the middle and he wasn't hungry earlier so I decided to just go grab Panera for him after. which was kinda more me than him wanting it ;) If we would of known he had to lay flat he probably would have just ate before because it was a little difficult to eat laying down but he was fine, he was nice and full :) We were also planning on watching a movie together but since he couldn't really face the TV, I decided to go home and let him go to bed early. He needs it. They were starting him on another bag of chemo anyway with some Benadryl as well (his favorite) so after all that I knew it would be easier for him to fall asleep. I felt bad for him when I left, he just looked so uncomfortable! I hope that he was able to sleep, I'll find out tomorrow! Goodnight all :)
