Eric has completed day 1 of chemo....smaller dose today than the rest of the days to start out. We didn't get much sleep we started chemo at 5am but they came in at 4am and inserted another IV to draw blood from. Last week he had surgery and they put a subclavian catheter in his chest as a central line to his heart, it has three ports to hook up all his chemo, blood, transplant cells,etc.
He has alot of tubes coming out of him right now... The nurse just came in and he has started to spike a fever. They have a grade system here and on their scale he is a 37.5 once he reaches 38 they will need to call the doctors and most likely place him on alert and run additional tests.
Eric amazes me as I watch him laying in his bed, the courage he has to face all of this and never complaining. He is a true example of strength and courage to me. I knew the day I meet him he was special and after 17 years of marriage I am more in love with him every day. Is that possible?
The kids called and talked to him tonight , they miss him so much. He started to cry and said that he misses them and wished he could see them. Please continue to pray for Eric, that he will have strength and get through this and feel our love and support. He is truly my hero....
