Final Thursday!!!
Well it’s a good thing Devin is done with his treatments. He has totally caught on to the prepping and is getting very strong…or mom is getting weak….actually it is probably a combination. Because of his strenght on getting the IV he had to suffer through two of them. You would think he would learn and just let them do it once!!!! I definitely worked up a sweat holding him this time and kept telling myself last one, last one!!!! Other than that the treatment itself went really well and Devin was even asleep after the treatment so he must have tired himself out putting up a fight. He slept for the first 2 1/2 hours and then he was pretty content the rest of the time. It must be because I break the rules and let him eat 3 hours afterward instead of 6. What they don’t know won’t hurt them:)
Even after treatment yesterday Devin worked hard today in therapy. He said he wanted to bring Kerri back to the USA with him. She actually agreed!!!
Today was a very rainy, gloomy day which was depressing considering Devin has been stuck inside the last two days. So, Julie and I decided to take the kids to the city and eat at a Chinese Italian restraunt that Julie and her husband had already eaten at before. It was excellent and I even have left overs for supper tonight. Even though it is 7:00 and I’m still not hungry. I guess that’s because it was also a sad evening tonight. Terry, Jena and Laylah left at 6:00 and it was very sad to see them go. It’s amazing how strangers become part of your family!!!!! They are definitely leaving here with smiles on their faces as the doctors confirmed today that Laylah’s eye’s are responding to light. What’s funny is that I knew that before they even told me because today she was so much more content and when I was holding her, her eyes were just different in a way I can’t explain it. So, they can’t wait to get home and go to her eye doctor to see what they say!!!
Well sorry to cut you short but I just realized how late it is getting and Devin needs a shower tonight so I got to get going. I can’t believe tomorrow is Friday and Devin’s last day of therapy. I think it’s one of those mental games I’m playing that I’m not going to believe it until we are actually on the plane flying home!!!
Have a great Thursday and enjoy the weather. I heard you are finally having some nice days:)
Kim & Devin
