Today (Sunday), Bill and Neya spent the whole afternoon here, which was nice because I really missed them on the days they weren't able to be here because of recital practice. When they walked in this afternoon, Collin was so excited to see them (he always is). He enjoyed playing with Neya; while he was in the highchair after lunch, she gave him paper and colored pencils and tried to get him to draw. He seemed to enjoy himself. We talked about how she will be such a big helper when he comes home, and she was thinking of all the things she can help him do. Collin's counts are slowly starting to rise, and they are still talking about sending us home soon. I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm afraid to get too excited because the one thing that seems to be constant lately is that nothing ever goes quite as planned. So for now I'll be cautiously optimistic. I did my third broviac dressing change today, so that I can learn how to do them at home. I will prefer to have a nurse help me, but I think if it came down to it, I could do it on my own.
Overall, the weekend was boring, which is a good thing in the world of chemo. It was nice to spend Father's Day together, even if it was in the hospital.
