Dave is feeling ok. He had the neulasta injection tonight, so we hope he will not experience the pain that he had last time. This time he will have pain medicine on hand. He has been having a bit of nausea today. He is trying to stay on top of that with all the nausea meds. He is very fatigued too. He will start the next round of chemo on the 17th. His next scan is February 28th.
I know Dave is missing home alot this week. In particular this week he is missing his students at Donoho. He has always loved this time of year as a band director. Concert Season. He has several students going to the county honor band and one student going to All State. He is so proud of them. I wish he was there to see them. He is such a good music teacher.....(yes, I may be partial)...but he really is a good teacher. I know he would love to get home before all those sweet seniors graduate too. Maybe he will get to.
Tonight when I dropped Dave out at the hospital, I had to run to Target (of course) and this Chris Tomlin song came on the radio as I drove. These particular verses stood out tonight.
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine, will be forever mine
You are forever mine
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29.11
