TODAY IS THE BIG DAY!!!
I'm sorry I haven't posted is some time. My Grandma and Grandpas house does not have wi fi. Tad is trying to convince my grandpa it is secure and no one is going to get his bank account information. He is a silly old man whom I love so deeply.
This weekend has been nice. We hung out with family at Grandpa Whites funeral. It was so nice to watch Cole, Clay and Lily play with their cousins. It makes us want to move back. Not really, well maybe a little. We had some appointments yesterday to close up everything and get Clay registered and Cole set up for Bone Marrow Harvest. We were told yesterday that there will be no more fast food or going out to dinner for a whole year. Those of you who know our family know that is going to be tough. During the season we are go out alot. Well, no more of that. I guess I get to become a good mom again and cook more at home. Anyway, so last night we had our last night out to dinner. We went with Grandma and Grandpa Daniels and had Golden Corral. The best thing about yesterday was the SNOW. It is beautiful. Those of you that are locals are ready for it to be over, but as a Vegas person this is new and awesome. However it sucked to drive in. I love the snow but glad we will be gone by next winter.
It was suggested to us by other patient parents to shave Clays head before he starts treatment. I guess when his hair starts to fall out it gets really annoying and then its to late to shave. So Sunday afternoon we cut hair. Cole said he would support Clay and shave his head too. Above are the pictures of the head shaving day. Cole is an amazing brother and when Clay struggled about cutting his hair he stood up and said he would do it with him. They are a great pair, even though they fight like cats and dogs they are and always will be the best of friends.
Today Clay has been admitted to the hospital. This begins our 6 week journey of hospital food and four white walls. As the Child Life Specialist puts it the life of living in a fish bowl. Clay seems to be in good spirits today, there is alot of nervousness and anxiety. He ran into the councilor in the hall and was able to talk to him and little and ease his worries. Our room is next to the mountains we have a great view of capital hill. There is a giant parking lot out our window also, that is a bummer but the bright side is we can see our family coming up the walk way to visit.
Anyway, so far so good. He has a procedure tonight and will start Chemo in the morning. I will update you later on how that is going.
Love to all,
Tab and Clay
Love the hair cuts! They look great. As crappy as it is to be in the hospital, that is the best one to be at. I have spent a very long time down there with family and friends. The staff was always great, and the food in the caf was tasty. It could have been because I usually ate the onion rings and frozen yogurt, but it was pretty good. After an entire month of being there every day all day,I was glad to be able to walk around the grounds and eat some frozen treats. Keep up the faith and let me know if you need anything, I will find people to make it happen!
