So, after a quick (or not so quick) stop at Panda Express, we came home. Eddie was over the moon to see his baby, Baloo. We like to play hide and seek with him, so I came in like I normally do, and took Baloo to do his business. In the meantime, Eddie and Lori brought in our luggage and Eddie took his place in a hiding spot. The dog is usually really excited when he comes inside, so he was really jumpy to start running around the house. I announced that "Daddy is home" and told Baloo to go find him. Off he went.
I tell you, there's no friendship like a boy and his dog.
I'm not sure who was happier to see the other. It did my heart good to see them reunited.
We are now home. Due to Eddie's biopsy, he wasn't able to take a regular shower the week leading up to this latest hospital stay. As soon as he finished eating a full meal (yay small victory!), he took his first real, normal shower in 11 days. We are now resting comfortably at home. I'll be going back to work tomorrow and Eddie will get to rest at home without being poked and prodded (and spoiled by the nurses).
His next dose of Chemo will be a one hour infusion on Friday. Then we get a whole week off. We've been told that side effect symptoms will kick in about the 10-14 day mark, so we're bracing for that. For now, we are grateful for a good day, our own beds, and only 16 days of Chemo left.
P.S. I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has reached out so far. We are overwhelmed by your love and support. Also - mega thanks to both Eddie's and my parents. We wouldn't be holding it together without their hands on help. Driving, getting food, shopping, cleaning. You're keeping us sane ♥
We are praying for you everyday and wishing you a speedy recovery. Get well soon I would call you the name I always call you but your wife might get mad. Lol
