A better day
Well I have still been a bit of an emotional basket case. Bradley had his 2nd IV injection and it all went really smooth. He felt fine so later that night we went to a near by hotel for dinner. We went with a group of our new found friends and were so happy to have salad!! After dinner I started noticing that Bradley looked pale and had dark circles under his eyes. He said he felt fine but I made him drink alot of water and go straight to bed. This is all I needed to send me off into a worry and I prayed all night…God have we made the wrong decision…please take control of this situation.
When he woke up this morning he looked great and still felt fine. Kirshner had returned to the hospital and she sat down and talked to me for awhile. She assured me that I was not doing anything to hurt my son. That she has personally had the treatment done and her best friend and her best friends daughter. She told me I was doing the right thing for Bradley. It was comforting for me to hear.
Bradley wanted to get out and do something because we had been sitting around the hospital alot lately. So a group was renting a van to go downtown to McDonalds, to a park, and shopping. I never thought I would be so excited to go to McDonalds but I was. Their food is just like home except they have corn on their menu. They have corn everywhere and put corn in everything…corn ice cream…corn under the cheese of your pizza??? Anyway we went and had a great day. Bradley and I went to a DVD/music store and when we went in and said movies they knocked on a wall and took us through a secret door that had American movies…they were only a dollar!! We stocked up and Bradley was able to get a couple of movies that he had been wanting to see but couldn’t because Caleb and Olivia are not old enough to see yet. My camera battery died so I was not able to take any pictures.
Things are looking up and I am feeling better. Bradley only has one more treatment left and that will be on Wed. Then we are on our way home!! I miss everyone and love reading you comments. I have been having a hard time talking on Skype because I get emotional I hope everyone understands. They told us yesterday that the Internet would be down for a couple of days but so far we have been able to get on it.
I wanted to tell you guys a verse I found last night while pray and asking God for guidance. It is one of the same verses that I feel God lead me to when I was praying about coming here.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!” Ephesians 3:20
Love, Amy
