Janury 19th ~ the big day!

1/7

Jordy passed his blood counts today so he is hydrating and will start his chemo later this afternoon. He will have his regular 4 hour infusion, then we just wait until Saturday or Sunday for it to clear out of his body.
We do have some big news today. . . we have a date for getting Jordy's prosthesis. On January 19th the prosthetist will try out the socket (the part that his foot will go into). She will also take measurements and such. The big day is January 26. He will go to Shriner's to get his temporary prosthesis and meet with the physical therapist. This is great news for Jordy. Kevin is hoping to attend that appointment. You can imagine Kevin is very interested in the mechanical aspects of the process.
Last time he came, we had to keep him away from the tools! The prosthesis will be a great early birthday present for Jordy ( his birthday is Jan. 31). I teased him and told him that his only present would be his leg. . . what more could he ask for? He has assure me that he can think of a few things.
I guess I will have to do a little shopping on our days off.
Tonight is Candlelighters dinner. No hospital food!!!!
