The weekend.

We are still at the hospital. Yesterday, they did a bone scan on Lyric's cheek and while they were at it they decided to do a full body scan. They give Lyric some RADIOACTIVE material in his IV to track the blood flow and it helps the machine see the bones. Ya, that's great give my son some radioactive material... it can't be any worse than the chemo. Ugh. Then she says to me his pee will be radioactive for a couple days...oh, great. thanks.

They are still concerned that there is something going on with the cheek. You can still feel a bump... and since the antibiotics have lessened the pain and inflammation they think it's an infection for sure. But for some reason, it's not going away too quickly. So I guess we have to wait until Monday to get the results.. Doc's don't work on weekends. Cause apparently people don't get sick on weekends. You should see this place, it's so dead.

Lyric and I have had some LOA's, we can get out for about 8 hours in the afternoon. So we've gone home a couple times, but other days we stick around here cause the drive is too far everyday. Yesterday afternoon I took Lyric to see Where Wild Things Are. He wanted to go so I checked into how busy it would be and it wasn't at all. So we had popcorn and enjoyed the fun film. So cute. Afterwards we went to this great store called the Horn Of Plenty I found not so far away to stock up on some more healthy food. Lyric has pretty much boycotted the hospital food, which is good because I don't want him eating it anyways!

We are waiting for his counts to come up, and according to his Oncologist the more chemo you get the longer it takes for the counts to come up. So I hope they come up this week to get this next chemo round underway.

Lyric's been great, we are enjoying our time together getting out a bit. Today we are going to my Dad's where Avery is staying for the weekend to spend some time.

Oh, and I also wanted to mention there is another benefit being held for Lyric in November by some wonderful folks from my Salon, Picasso's. They have organized a night with bands and all sorts of stuff.. I will post the details later as I don't have access to them at this moment.

I hope everyone enjoys this beautiful sunny weekend!
