In the last two days, Caden has spent 12+ hours in the hospital, hooked up and sitting in one uncomfortable chair. It is really wearing on him. Well, it all is. He just doesn't feel well. When we told him that they have another 8 hour day planned for him tomorrow, he started to cry. We told him that it was his choice, that we could have him get just one bag of fluids and one dose of all IV nausea meds, and then we could just blaze home. He perked right up and dried his tears.
We were supposed to have dinner brought in to us, but for some reason they cancelled. Randy had been hoping for some kind of Asian cuisine, so without a dinner option, he got take out from a place around the corner. He used the excuse that Caden really loves the Hot & Spicy soup, but we all know the real reason he was so anxious was because he wanted it! He even wowed me with his Salesman tone! Don't tell him, but the tone was not needed- Chinese sounded perfect after a day like we've had.
After the meal, we told Caden that he needed to choose his fortune cookie, joking that we didn't want him to jinx his future, in case it said something like, "Your cancer is being cured- keep up the fight!" As it turns out, it wasn't that one exactly, but it was pretty prophetic.
"Getting away for the weekend will help clear your mind."
I couldn't agree more.
Fortune Cookies are awesome!! Looks like we may need to get Chinese more often. Plus, they delivered. Bonus!!
