We are back at UAB this morning for Parrish's mediport placement. This is an outpatient procedure done by an interventional radiologist. The procedure itself is a relatively quick procedure, but we will likely be here several hours. Then, this afternoon, Parrish has an appointment in the hematology/oncology clinic. There, we will discuss when treatment will start this week. The thought is that it will begin tomorrow, which means Parrish would be back in the hospital for the rest of the week. So, it is a full day of appointments at UAB...guess we better get used to this drill.
Please say a prayer for a smooth placement of the port this morning and for strength for Parrish. He has had a rough several days of just feeling crummy and unbelievable weakness and fatigue. The smallest activity, even just taking a shower, seems to take everything out of him. I really can't imagine what a day of procedures and appointments will do. So, I pray that he can find a reserve of strength to get through today and to carry him into this first week of treatment.
I will post more tonight when we have plans for the rest of the week.
Much love,
Molly
