So here we are on the last day of James' last chemo admit! He woke up around 6:15 a.m. long enough to express his awareness and happiness that it's the last day of all this, and promptly went back to sleep!
Yesterday I brought in cupcakes as a small token of thanks to all the nurses and staff here at the hospital. His pal Alice from Child Life Services made a huge neon poster for all to sign and hung it on his door. We painted golf balls that will be used in a BBCH fundraising golf tournament later this summer (yes, it's finally summer here we think), and played a few games of pass (pass-the-ball-past-Mom, that is) in the atrium. We've seen some familiar faces and met some new ones, and there's a performance by Circus Smirkus here today for the kids that James may want to stick around for, even if he's already been discharged.
We'll find out today when his next MRI is, and when we go to clinic again after next week's scheduled visit, but for now we know that he's got 1 more clinic visit and labs until his numbers and the docs say otherwise.
Honestly, it's all a little strange. We've been on this road for so long, not always knowing where it would lead, helped along by the love and support of all of our family and friends, and the amazing doctors and nurses. Now there is a big turn in the road, and it looks a bit smoother ahead.
I know we've said it a hundred times or more, but we can't say enough how much we are thankful for all the care, prayers, good wishes and support of all of you out there. We are truly blessed.
More later....Jenn
