"Perpetual forward motion" is the mantra for the week. My good friend Mo sent that to me, and I like it! David is not cured, yet, but we are moving closer all the time.
On Monday afternoon, David's doctors at Northside decided they were comfortable with David receiving his next round of RICE chemo in Athens. I immediately started packing, and an hour and a half later the car was stuffed to the gills including the dog (yes, it's "dog" not "dogs". I had to put down my dog of 15 years. It's true. I couldn't make this stuff up.). We got to sleep in our own beds, and it was glorious. David started his RICE regimen as an inpatient at Athens Regional Hospital today, and he will be there four days. The plan, dare I put it in writing, is for him to come home after that.
We also received another bit of good news. David's youngest brother, Wesley, is a bone marrow match for David. He is a perfect 10 on the donor scale. Ladies, and he cooks and cleans! Seriously, he really is a chef! We are still awaiting the results on one more brother, and then the testing will be complete.
Thank you to Wesley and Sheila for helping us pack up, and also a big thank you to Ann, Bob, and Kerry for helping us on our return to Athens.
Lastly, to the person who stole my wallet today, I just want to say I hope you needed it more than I did. You may have my money, but I'm home, my husband is healing, and my kids are happy. Life is good.
Peace to your hearts,
Lisa
