We made it home last night and held our babies! Ahhhhh! Jeff is very sore this morning but the bleeding seems to have stopped/slowed down. He's not walking around holding a towel under his nose! And I could tell by the way he was breathing in his sleep that it's better. I think once he gets the packing out of his nose on Monday he will be a new man. I'm thinking of all the ways I can show Dr. Guttenplan our gratitude!
Today is starting out to be a normal day. Laundry, dishes, grocery store - you know the drill. I love the mundane tasks that keep me occupied and distracted. Jeff is resting and is staying still like the dr told him to. We are still a little shaky but okay. The kids took this a lot harder than I thought they would. I think it's becoming more physically obvious that Jeff is very sick. Denial works best when you can't see any cancer! I shared my trick with Jake. When I get very sad and overwhelmed I sit down and write my love lists. I think of all the things that are blessings and that I love the most. Jake liked that idea and we talked about his love list for a long time. We are adjusting everyday. We are having to do things differently and change the way we think about certain things. We are doing our best. I've switched to water proof mascara. That seems to be working better too.
Love,
Leta
