Well it's not really a home per say but it will do. Donnie finally got admitted to Mountain View Hospital last night at like 8pm. The hospital was super busy so they haven't had any rooms available but yesterday I finally was fed up so I called Dr. Zhou. He made a couple phone calls and was able to get him put on the top of the wait list. Since he had a patient discharging in a few hours, Donnie was able to get that room. Donnie settled in and they took blood, gave him his meds and started him on a IV for hydration. I stayed for awhile and we just layed in bed and watched tv. I felt bad for him I didn't want to leave him. The hospital just sucks; it's noisy and uncomfortable. He misses the kids too, the thought of not being able to see them for 2 weeks is hard for him. I have a huge dry erase board at my house with all my family scheduled in for babysitting. It's pretty funny actually, I'm always like, did you check the board for your shift? haha. It's going to be really hard for Donnie to stay positive at the hospital, that's why I'm trying to be there as much as I can to keep him company and get his mind off stuff. Nobody wants to sit in a room alone! They are suppose to start his first day of chemo today at 11. They already have done a EKG, a chest X-ray and a few blood draws, so he should be good to go. We are just hanging out right now, I'm blogging and he just got all his pre-chemo meds and some Benadryl, which he hates because it makes him feel weird :) Poor guy!
Also, the hospitals vistor policy is pretty lenient, he is allowed visitors whenever! I mean if you do want to come and see him just don't come too early or too late. Also, no kids, please don't come sick and wash you hands :) He's in room 312 level 3. He would love to have some visitors, it gets pretty lonely in there and I'm sure I'm not a very exciting visitor anymore :) Please keep him in your prayers, he needs them now more than ever. Staying positive and strong is a constant uphill battle and God is the only way he can get through this!
