So...... It was a looooooooooooooooooooong night! Lol! We arrived at the hospital around 9 to check in and begin the process of getting in. Before we could come in our room EVERY SINGLE THING that we had packed for our month here had to be individually wiped down before it could enter. Weve also learned a lot about our rules while were here. While were in the room with Seth, we must wear a mask at all times, including sleeping. We are not allowed to eat, use the restroom, shower, etc in his room at all. If we want to eat, we have to step out (I can see some weight loss in my near future)! If we need to use the bathroom, we need to walk down the hall. If we absolutely have to shower (lol), we need to go over to the Ronald McDonald house. We are able to be glove free in the room, except if we are going to be near Seth. We have to be wearing gloves anywhere near him, especially if we want to touch him. Diarrhea hit Seth full force last night at dinner. As I sit here thinking about that, a HUGE prayer request comes to mind. Please pray that the diarrhea is a result of the radiation. Seth just finished his meds for C-Diff a few days ago and if thats come back, thats NOT good. Were going to take a stool culture today and well find out hopefully Monday. Were about to have some family Bible and prayer time. Im praying that encourages and re-focuses Seth. Its easy to get down when youre not feeling well. I am SO thankful to be looking around our room at verses like, Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is Gods will for you in Christ Jesus. And, Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Also, Be still and know that I am God. And especially, Through the Lords mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning . Great is Your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion says my soul. Therefore I hope in Him! So thankful that His mercies are new today. Peace out for now, well update again soon. XOXO
