Day 7— it’s only been a week since Lochlan started treatment for his leukaemia but it sure feels like an eternity already. Today was another waiting day. No new treatment or medicine, just waiting for tomorrow’s chemo and lumbar puncture procedure.
Emotionally Lochlan was really down today. Lots of tears and forlornness. He said, “I’m just so tired. Everything is so hard here.” And when discussing it it wasn’t the procedures and pokes and prods it is the being away from home that is taking its toll. (It’s been 2 weeks now, since we were there.)
But today was a day for me to battle for my baby. Once again, a fight for real food nutrition to help my kiddo through this cancer fight.
I have cried and cried and cried out of frustration and exhaustion about this issue. Today I felt like they all thought I was crazy, and that I need to chill out and just do what they say. They didn’t say it but the looks they gave me spoke for them. 😞
I appreciate the fact that the hospital and its staff are here to work the magic medicine to help heal Lochlan’s body. But as a mom it’s my job to heal his little broken spirit, his heart, and to nourish his body.
Please pray that tomorrow’s procedure goes well, and that Lochlan’s bloodwork remains good. Please pray that his leukaemia counts remain extremely low and continue to go downward. And please pray that he will gain weight and will be on the path to home asap.
