Day -9

This is his Broviac. There is a tube coming out of his
chest and it goes all the way to his heart.

Happy St Pattys Day. This will be Clays second birthday

and the day my hero goes in for Bone marrow Harvest.

Today the journey really begins. I know it began in August but we are at Day minus 9. That means 9 more days until transplant.

Today was good. He ate. After lasts night late night surgery he could eat all he wanted. French toast, eggs, bacon, chicken, corn, steak. You name it he can order it. If he wants a pb&j at 3 am he calls room service and orders it.

Today we started Chemo. There was a fluid placed in his line and he asked the nurse what it was she said it was his Chemo, his response was priceless. Oh well that doesn't look to bad, why is everyone freaking out. This is going to be easy. We all thought, well you keep thinking this buddy. I hope he does well with Chemo and the transplant. No one likes to see their child hurting. I think the roller coaster is going to build he and I a stronger relationship. We will learn from each other.

We had several visitors today. It was nice to see friends and family, it beaks the day up. there will come a time when we say no thanks cuz he is just to tired and sick but for now we welcome our friends. Thank you to Dani, Grandma Nicki and Bishop Johnson (he came all the way from Vegas to check on Clay, no just kidding he was here for meeting and made time to visit).

I was able to go home today and play with Cole and Lily. It was nice we went to the dollar store to get some decorations for Clays room and found a couple cool things for the kiddos. Lily found these cool socks to support breast cancer, she picked one up for her, Courtney and Sally. Sally's says Survivor on them. Don't tell her I'm putting them in the mail tmrw.

Anyway, the pictures are of Clays room decorations and the other is of Clays Broviac. He has what is called a double lumen which means to lines for blood draws and medications. He says it itches and hurts by his muscle but he is doing great.

Clay had his first day on Chemo he takes it every six hours for 3 days. So far so good no sickness yet, but that should come in a couple of days. Other than that we are great and he is doing amazing like we all knew he could.

Love Tab

Clay says Bingo, no I mean Black out, no it was a Bingo.

His joke of the day told on the TV during Kids Crew. Why was Tiggers head in the toilet? He was looking for Pooh. Makes a Mama proud!!!!
