Chemotherapy #3



July 30 was Bobby's final chemo treatment. The days following it have been much like this picture... he sleeps and sleeps. Our doctor switched him to a patch to manage his pain better, and he gets a slow, constant release of pain medication that lasts for 3 days. Once we started that, he was able to rest much better. There are so many things I hate about this disease, this treatment, this condition that he's in, but through it all, I am glad that he can sleep most of the time.
I miss him, though.
I'm sad for what he has missed... Bria's fourth birthday with Grandpa, celebrating with about 60 family members from all around the country.
She loved her cake and loved to tell everyone that she was the princess, and Grandpa was the frog. He serenaded her with one of his barbershop songs "Frog kissin" and they blew out the candles together.

I'm sad that he's missed most of our family reunion and the craziness that comes along with it!
