sunday is here

sunday is here...today will be the last day of the first CHEMO-doses 15 and 16 are today. he gets a half-day break and then we start another type of CHEMO tomorrow. tim's poor body must be so confused about right now.

we had a decent day yesterday in most respects, but as we go along this venture there will be days that one or the other of us will have what i call "a meltdown". nothing too serious, but a time when we have to either deal with a situation or a time when we need to deal with a frustration or a time when we just need to cry. yesterday was tim's first in-hospital meltdown...it actually was probably a good thing and his brother and sister-in-law were there to help him through it. i guess we are going to have these times and it is so encouraging to us to know that we have such a GREAT support system to help us get through them. i am loving the comments and e-mails and cards that have been generated through this blog-many of them i classify as "a blast from the past" and they generate such fond memories. thanks to all.

well, it is time for me to hit that very familar route to the hospital...so far i have been able to come home each night to sleep. i am at the hospital from breakfast to bedtime, but then i come home for a little break. (for as long as i can, there will be nights that i will stay over and they will just bring me in a cot to sleep on).

i will update again when i can...

love to all

(tim and) tammy

Just came from church and Tim and family were in my prayers. I am always thinking of Tim and check your blog a couple times a day. Tam, as always, if you need anything, call. Tell Tim to remain POSITIVE and that he is constantly being thought of.

Love, Larry

It's been awesome to be with the two of you the last two days and to walk this length of the journey beside you guys. Great to see Tim doing so much better today. Thank the Lord for that!! As for the donor, he's feeling the joy of it this evening...in the back mainly, but achy everywhere. Being a part of a miracle isn't always comfy in the beginning I guess. But thank God for all that He's doing!! Go God!!
Love,
Deb
