Full Day

This morning Noah had a football game at 11.  We needed to get there at 10:30.  About halfway there we realized we left his football bag at home that included is flag belt and mouthguard.  He cannot play without those.  We decided to keep going to the field to drop Noah off and then either go home or somewhere to purchase the needed items.

Morry dropped Noah and me off at the field.  I was able to get a belt for him for free from the organization's booth. They normally sell mouthguards but were all sold out.  I guess we weren't the only ones that needed a new one today.  

Meanwhile, Morry and Evan stopped at CVS, but were unsuccessful.  Though they did think they saw Vince Young there.  They went over to Academy, bought a mouth guard, and headed back to the field.

Evan ran through the field to give Noah his mouthguard and got it to him just as the game was starting.

Noah played well and his team actually won their first game of the season.

From there, we ate lunch at Denny's.  I had a free gift card from a review I had done.

Then, we dropped Evan off at Altitude (indoor trampoline park) for a baseball team building event.

We were home for about an hour and then Morry went back out to pick up Evan.

They got home and then we left for a party of a friend of mine.   They had a family friendly party at her house for her 50th birthday.

We had a nice time.   They live in Rim Rock and have 1-2 acres or so.  There were other kids there and the boys had fun running around their yard playing various games.

Now the boys are getting ready for bed.

Here are some pictures from today.

Chemo #2

Gabby came at 7:30 this morning.

This morning we got to Texas Oncology around 8:30am. Morry dropped me off and went to pick up breakfast for him and movie for me. When he got back I was in an exam room. They were taking my vitas and doing a blood test. Everything came back normal, so I was able to have the chemo today.

By the time I was set up in the treatment room and they started the medicines (steroids, anti nausea, chemo) it was about 10am. This time it went a lot faster. They didn’t have to go as slowly since they knew I wasn’t allergic to any of the drugs. We had planned on having Morry run out and get lunch. Around 12 they said I only had an hour left so we waited to go to lunch after. The chemo finished at 1pm. I need to go back tomorrow at 1pm to get the Nuelasta shot. The doctor said this should help the sores in my mouth. She thinks I got them because my white blood count was so low last time. She also prescribed more medication to help with the nausea.

For lunch Morry and I went to Triumph Café (Vietnamese). It was good. We were both pretty hungry.

When we got home Noah was in bed and Blanca was getting Evan ready for a nap. I took a nap too. I wasn’t feeling bad, but I was really tired from all the medication they had given me.

For dinner, one of the moms brought dinner for us. We had chicken soup.

After dinner we all went over to HEB. I needed to pick up some medicine and a mouth guard. I’ve been grinding my teeth at night and the dentist recommended I pick up one of those to use temporarily.

We put the boys to bed, but Evan is still up stalling.
