Pizza and movie again tonight. Eli is just over the halfway point of the current chemo round. Yesterday his counts dropped (as expected) below the line requiring he be admitted. Katie and I flew down on Monday night, grateful to get on a flight after 4 days of significant delays at the PG airport. Eli should be in hospital until after New Years so we’ll be spending our Christmas holiday in this room. We’re grateful visitor restrictions have been eased so siblings can come in for the first time since we began this journey.
There are a number of things happening here and at Ronald MacDonald House including “The North Pole” where parents can make arrangements with the big guy for deliveries to our room. There’s a wonderful group of volunteers who coordinate this and many, many donated toys to make this happen. There will also be a turkey dinner on Christmas Day that we can bring up to the hospital room.
This will definitely be a Christmas like no other for our family but at least the four of us can be together. Just being together in spite of the circumstances puts things in perspective
