We are home from the fourth and FINAL stay at Children's Hospital, Minneapolis.
Hooray!!!!!!!!!
No, we're not done with treatment. That continues for three more years, but should health be good and treatment go as planned we will not have to stay in the hospital again.
Only if Ed gets sick. Fevers aren't our friends.
So we'll pray he stays well, his counts stay good, and we all will be happy.
The arctic cold is slipping away for the weekend, too, and that makes us very happy.
On the way home from the hospital the conversation in the car went something like this:
"Ed, I'm sorry if I'm stealing your joy about......."
"No, mom, you aren't stealing my joy, you are stealing my happy, and that isn't as important."
I love this kid. He's had a happy countenance all through this horrid disease, and that has blessed every single person who walked in the door of his room.
He told one nurse that being difficult didn't help anything. One might as well be pleasant as one could be. So through nausea, pain, sores, weariness, and CANCER he has been delightful.
Really.
And now we can hope that hospital visits are a thing of the past.
Milestones.
The next stage of chemotherapy is due to begin the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Time to get ready for the feast!
Thank you for your prayers. The LORD, Elohim, is glorified by your prayers answered in Ed. Thank you.
Sunrise this morning looking south from the hospital. It was a very beautiful view.
