It is Sunday morning. Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there!!!
I have stepped aside today and let Sean be the Go-To guy for Big D. It is good for everyone. I had a few minutes to relax before I began working, which is actually a lovely distraction for my mind.....to be completely focused on something else, outside of the family, the house, the cancer....
Sean and D went to St. Vincent ER earlier than expected because we forgot to get pain medicine yesterday. The doctor informed us that getting his pain under control and keeping him comfortable is much more important and significant than the exact timing of the second dose of antibiotics....so off they went...
Sean sent me a text....
Insertion 20 min ago. Antibiotic and saline. D Awesome!!!
So, maybe the silver lining to this little infection scare and ER extravaganza is that getting his port accessed multiple times in a relatively short period of time (3 times in 3 days) is what he needed to get over the fear and anxiety about it. Maybe having a week in between accessing was long enough for his brain to forget that it was pretty easy and painless and take over with the rumination and obsession about the needle. These multiple accesses might dig into his psyche and get his brain to realize that it is not as bad as he anticipates...maybe, just maybe.
Hi it's Sophia, Dillon and Luca's cousin! Hope Dillon is ok...... Are you guys are having a good fathers day? Wish to talk to Aunt Shari, Uncle Sean, Dillon,& Luca!!!
