The Big. Long. Day.

That's it! Chemo officially DONE! He had his leg needle this morning at 9 a.m., and that concluded Lyric's chemo.

Shortly after, Lyric was in the OR, getting his tube out. Things went well.. they have placed a peripheral line in his hand until Tuesday, when they can put a Pick line in his arm. So we're stuck here all weekend. boo!

He's been chalked full of drugs today.. chemo, several anti nauseants, Tylenol, anaesthesia, antibiotics... so when he finally was able to eat at 3, he wanted McDonalds.. hesitantly I got it for him.. but when he got up to go pee, the room was spinning and out came everything.. including all the natural meds I just gave him. Damn!

His hand is hurting, from the Magnesium in the IV.. so he keeps complaining, but they can't do anything about it. He just has to let his vein harden.

He's well otherwise.. and we are so glad the chemo is done. Now, we focus on getting him healthy again.
