Today we find out if we will be in for Christmas or if we check in next Wednesday. If our counts are good then we will stay if they come up short we have one more week to get flush. We are prepared, as much as one family could be, to spend Christmas in the unit. I would prefer to come back next week so Christain & Kay can have a normal Holiday.
We want to get this behind us so if it means sacrificing a day such as X-mas then so be it. I keep wondering how we will do it as normal for Christian. Today is bitter sweet. We have only one treatment of this methatrexate left, it will be behind us if it gets administered today and tomorrow. Kay's recovery is based on how quickly she can release the poison. Last treatment took 10 days. We go in saying that we are going to recover quickly but it is up to Kaylee Marie Quijas' little body.
On the other hand, if we do get admitted today it means that our Holiday will be most likely in the Cancer Unit. Inconvenient but neccesasry. What's one Christmas, right? Unfair if you ask me. No family should have to spend Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween, or the Fourth in the hospital. Unfortunately the disease doesn't recognize national observances. Well let me tell you something Mr. Disease. If we have to fight on Christmas, Arbor Day, or on Bring Your Kid To Work Day then we will. We just want to get better and feel better.
So whether your car breaks down while you're out of town or if the pocket book has you on the hook, just remember that things could be worse. You could have to drive your child to a place that uses needles & poison as their Christmas Cheer. The fourth floor has a dash of fear but we know it will make us better this next year.
