Chemo #2
I'm sitting at Huntsman Cancer Hospital while Craig is in for the procedure right now. We came up yesterday at 2 and they put is in an observation room. It's a room without windows and could possibly have 3 beds in it. We thought...not quite the suite we had last time! They said they were full on the 5th floor and would see if they could get us on the 4th floor. They eventually did which was good because Craig really enjoys looking outside and it was pretty depressing in the windowless room. So now we're in 4507 and looking west. Not quite the suite but still a nice room. We do have a couch and 2 chairs for sitting which is nice. Craig got hooked up to an IV and has had fluids dripping in him for the last 19 hours. They want him really hydrated to open up the arteries as much as possible to gain easier access into the liver. They gave him some drugs right before they took him in to relax him and the octreotide for the tumors. It immediately made him sick to his stomach. He hasn't had any food today so that's partially why. I feel kind of quilty now. I've already had one order of sweet potato fries yesterday for dinner and I'm thinking of going up there now to get another for lunch...maybe throw in a salad too! He should be out of the procedure around 1 or 2. I'll keep you updated. Thanks for everyone's calls, texts and prayers you're sending our way.

We are thinking about you and praying for you and hoping this treatment goes much better for you. I know the treatment is perfectly awful no matter what they do, but it will all be worth it. Life is good and I know it will help you. Our love to you Craig and to all your family. Sorry to hear your Dad is having trouble too. Hang in there all of you.
