The day began with Jed waking mummy with his usual bright and shine smile. Knowing time is the essence if everything is to run smoothly without frantic madness, Anita got up quickly without waking Reg. Jed was cooperative and they left home to be the first arrived to school and only realised there was a meeting of some sort and had to wait. Thankfully, Anita made it home in time to pick up Reg and arrived to the hospital in good time. They thank God's provision when they saw a car just pulled out for them to park closely to the hospital.
The routine of going in to be "hooked up" becomes second nature, however, Reg is having bad association and feeling "blue". Reg was greeted by a different nurse, so he was searching for some familiar faces since this is their first time for a Thursday treatment. He found some regular staff and felt a bit cheerful by the nurse who served him last time esoecially she got a new bright ginger hair this time! Realising there was only one spot left in the room, the clinic indeed was full. The busyness went on and eventually Reg got the clearnace with blood test result and ready for hooked up.
More pain, more discomfort and loss of appetite this time round, but no major problem. Anita tried her best to distract Reg by looking at the photography book of the year again. Later, the haemotologist came and still telling them that he is trying to organise the PET scan and they'll be notified when it is done. Understanding the doctor is trying his best, they both resumed to their book with no further comment.
The long day has finally come to an end, when Reg felt so tired from just sitting for so many hours. Anita on the other hand was fine since she got to run around and it did make the day to go much faster. Both Reg and Anita was so grateful to know they did not need to rush to pick up Jed from school, as one of the school mums is helping to pick up Jed. God was kind, Reg came home just in time before the thunder storm striked. Anita then went out and picked up Jed who complained why mummy came so early because he wished he could stayed on and played. As parents, they have realised Jed indeed has adapted to the frequent stay with different friends and learning to enjoy himself in the midst of it. So Reg and Anita thank God for answered prayers and His work in helping Jed to be strong.
Reg was so tired that he had a nap during dinner time. Thankfully he was well enough to have a light meal tonight. The family continues to pray for his "morning sickness" will not be an issue and a good night sleep. Yet they are grateful for a peaceful day and the help and support that came along. Since Jed has to go to preschool again tomorrow, both Reg and Anita can have a rest day tomorrow.
