Matthew Update: Well, the inevitable is happening – losing his hair again. 😢
This is 1:00 this morning when he asked me to cut it short.(step 1)
He really should have lost it doing the immunotherapy but, thankfully, it only thinned so we’re trying to focus on the bonus months of hairiness!
He also hit a true zero today with his ANC (blood indicator of NO immune system) so I’m tracking down every germ with a vengeance! His mouth is so sore that when he tries to talk it sounds like he has 3 socks in it – haha, so I’m learning his unique brand of sign language. 😜
Even though I’ve done stupid sock puppet shows & things to distract him, Matthew winds up cheering ME up at the end of the day.
On the stair stepper just now while getting platelets. His doctor laughs & says she can’t believe he feels like doing that.
He’s a true winner in my book. (I know I’m bragging excessively, but I’m just so proud & I thank you for your indulgence. I know most of you understand 😊.)
