Today was Tony's 5th day of chemo. He no longer has to do the red devil, but he is still on the 24 drip line chemo. It's definitely starting to kick in. His blood counts are all very low and he is extremally tired. He is also already sick of doing sponge baths. It's his least favorite. They are going to let him shower tonight when they switch to the new bag of chemo. Just 2 more days of chemo, and then his counts will go even lower as its effects kick in. He will most likely be in the hospital a total of 4 weeks while his blood counts bottom out and then recover. His blood pressure was low all day and he just wanted to sleep. No pictures today. But Nicole, (from Tony's work family) set up a gofundme for us today to help us with all the medical costs.
We are just so grateful for everyone that has reached out. We've had cookies mailed to us, smoothies delivered to us, people running errands all over the place for us. We have an abundance of babysitters, and people who have come up with brilliant ideas of things that can keep Tony entertained for his long stay in the hospital. I've had help with decluttering the house and packing up as we prepare to move and so many more things! I am just absolutely touched by the outpouring of love we have received. Thank you!
