It was a busy, tight scheduled day from early in the morning. The Chan's household did everything with military precision. All went as scheduled: Jed was at pre-school by 8:30am, picked up Reg at 9am and just made it to St Vincent by 10am.
TO their delight, blood test was good, no delay with chemo drug delivery. No doctor visit, just social worker and nurse. So everything went very smoothly and they really thank God for answering their prayers.
Reg felt a bit nauseated, but no vomits during chemo. He saw an older man collapsed during chemo with doctors and nurses rushed in for assistance. In comparison, Reg indeed is doing very well. Anita did her usual stuff in obtaining multiple drug scripts, making appointments, talking to the social worker and nurses.
To their surprise, the chemo ended much quicker than last three times. So they didn't have to wait for the Leukemia Foundation transportation to take REg home, but they left together, and Anita just dropped Reg at the door, and rushed to pick up Jed. Jed was happy to see mummy made it to school to pick him up.
By late afternoon, all three were exhausted. Reg was exhausted from the heat and chemo, Anita was exhausted from all the running around, but continued to cook for the family, Jed was tired from first day of pre-school. Yet the family prasied God for a blessed day that they have managed everything.
The next few days will be tough for Reg, and they continue to pray to their Heavenly Father to show mercy, that the side effect will not make Reg very sick, and the heat will subside, so he may rest well. Yet they remember the cyclone that is yet to come to Queensland is much more devestating to many and they can only pray for others that the damage will be minimised, and no death will be resulted from such disaster.
The family has also been blessed with the tsunami of fish soup coming their way. The family is sufficient for the moment until they have more storage space.
Tomorrow, the family pray for a good rest day for the household as Jed will be at school, so hopefully, both Anita and Reg can rest for awhile.
