Day 11

Hi Everyone,

         It's another manic Monday and day 11 for Charlie. Some of you are wondering why the blog is posted so late. To Everyone who is waiting for it, I'm sorry! I'm going to be writing my blogs at night from now on while I am at the hospital. Today has been a good day for Charlie. He is feeling good and enjoyed a delicious plate lunch for dinner. He is very much over the hospital food and their cardboard tasting roast beef sandwiches. Charlie can't wait until he gets to go home. The nice thing about his stay here is that he has his own room and has a nice view of the Moanalua valleys. Right now Charlie's blood counts are really low and he is susceptible to catching bad germs and infections. All visitors must wash their hands and wear a mask before entering the room. Right now Charlie is receiving his chemo through his PICC line. He is no longer taking the chemo pill. Tomorrow he will have his spinal tap done where they will inject this chemotherapy through the spine. He is still a trooper and handling all of this very well. The only thing that's saddening him is not seeing little Charlie. They have such a great bond that it's hard to not see him for days at a time. Babies carry lots of germs and we have to limit their time together. Hang in there Char it's only temporary! Please continue to pray for Charlie. Pray that the chemo is doing it's job and that he will stay encouraged. I'm sorry to disappoint again, but I don't have pictures to post. I promise tomorrow! Stay tuned.
