We have a plan

Today started out with a phone conversation between Craig and I talking about what he wants to do.  He wasn't sure and knew he was being pressured to make a decision.  During our conversation, Dr. Weis walked in his room just when we needed him.  He basically presented to Craig that he has two options: go home with a glucose drip and think about what he wants to do; or start the octreotide shots and plan to do a 2nd radioembolization in a few weeks.  He said Huntsman is not a hotel (although it would be a nice one!).  Dr. Weis knows Craig and has learned how he does not make rash decisions and has to think and talk everything through logically.  Craig right then and there said he will do the octreotide shots.  So the first shot was scheduled for 2 pm today.

Craig's cute little sister Lisa came by and I took that opportunity to sneak off after the octreotide shot to see "Beauty and the Beast" with my very nice friend Sherrie.  It was a lovely break and I escaped into the beautiful world of Belle!  Craig didn't feel much different after the shot and napped and was ready for a 5 Guys burger when I came back up.  Chase was there with him and things seemed much more relaxed than yesterday.  We have a plan and that brings everyone's stress level down.  Chase has had many opportunities to have great talks with Craig on these long days in the hospital.  Luckily Maddie can also have talks with Craig by FaceTime and phone now that she'd back in Virginia.  These are precious times for all of us to spend time together.
