It was about 6 PM when we pulled out of the Dr's House tonight an headed home. Now the million dollar question is how long will we stay home for. My guess...not long! Tommy started running a low grade fever while getting his blood, which is pretty normal to happen, but I feel it's due to a stomach virus he has.
He still has been running just under 100, so I gave him another dose of Tylenol and if he spikes above 100.4 we're back to the Dr's House for at least 48 hours or longer. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I told the girls all day that I suspect we'll be back this week - just a gut feeling and it's usually right.
Maggie's in bed, Daryl is too and Tommy and I are in his bunk. At least it's a queen over queen so room to wiggle in. He cannot sleep without me - we'll deal with the issue after chemo. I want to get the house in order, pre-make the dinner stuff and get a ton of work done for clients...but I know I won't be able to do it all. I am SO bugged when my house isn't spotless. One of the nurses (Becky) was telling me today that she noticed I had gotten worse on my OCC of being a germ freak (which co-insides with a neat freak). Tommy has inherited that gene from me and he's just as bad about not wanting to touch germs or have people touch him. A new Dr came in to check him out and he told her she couldn't touch him because her hands had germs on them. Things were spun off from there for a while between Tommy and the Dr (Tommy's a super good debater...gee, wonder where that gene came from) finally I had to step in and tell him to let her do her job.
My head is nodding and I'm fighting to stay awak...more to follow up again tomorrow (or soon there after). Happy T-Day to you.

Hi Tommy! I am at Gee & Papa's house for the night. We were going to see the Glendale Glitter Lights tonight, but we stayed home to have a chip party and watch Cops. Wish you could be here! Hope your week goes good. You and Maggie have fun and I will call you tomorrow to see what your doing.
Love,
