Family Day Togetherness


Happy Family Day! Ours didn't happen at our house as we had hoped given Ollie is still not well enough to go home, so we made the most of it, doing what we'd do if we were all at home. 

So we built magnetic structures, tried to figure out s free watched some movies (although squishy with four of us flopped all over)...
Binge watched our favorite series' online...

Piled on Ollie' s bed and snuggled, trying not to squish him, while Mario went to work to do a few things on the server while no one is around and to make up for hours missed with Ollie recently...
Read good books (Abby and Mommy read their own and daddy read one to Ollie)...

Abby's good book was recommended by her friend Ella who recently read it. It's about a girl whose little sister has cancer...
We ordered Lone Star and were simply together and it felt better. Abby actually wanted to be here today and that made me feel good. 

Ollie also felt somewhat better, but still  very mucus filled today, so they gave him suction to vacuum it out. He was also nauseous tonight with post-chemo cankers in his throat that really hurt. So he's been given pain killers, which stress me out because the last time he took opioids it caused breathing issues. So paranoid mom has asked them to put monitors on him again and watch them tonight just in case.

Tomorrow it's another lumbar puncture with intrathecal chemo, morphology will lol at his eyes and take pics at the back of his eyes while he's sedated and they intend to try to replace his finicky and small PICC line also while under sedation. Tired just thinking about it. 

Hope you got out and enjoyed your family day together. We're living vicariously through all of you, so let the good times roll.

Keeping the Family Healthy During and Post Cancer

When Ollie was first diagnosed I had a terrible upper chest and sinus infection. Likely exacerbated from the stress of testing and diagnosis...
