Last SCT Is Over
March 19th, 2009
3-19-09
Last night Joey and I stayed up until 3:30 a.m. He wants to be able to sleep before the pain kicks in, if any. We were told his SCT would be at 1:30 p.m. but for some reason they didn’t come to get him until 5 minutes until 3:00. The waiting made him very nervous.
I expected to see them roll him back in here within 15 minutes as before but he was gone for 35 minutes this time. Evidently, they had to keep re-positioning him. Joey said that this injection hurt but not as bad as the last one (good sign I hope)……
I have started watching the clock now because it takes approximately 2 hours for the discomfort/pain to show its ugly face. Hopefully he will be spared this time…at least for the most part. If not, I would love to see him jump up and do a cartwheel when this is all over.
It is 4:30 p.m. and he is sleeping right now so I will write more later…..

Dana and Joey: I’ve been following your progress (silently) all along. I just wanted you to know that. There are more people out here pulling for you than you can know. Prayers and Love, Mandi
