It was a big day for us -- with meaningful endings and beginnings. Kerry had his last Interleukin 2 treatment and Seth began college.
Kerry ended up having a total of 5 doses this week which they say is a typical amount for Round 6. He is elated to have the treatments behind him. I will miss the amazing sunset views from his room -- as well as some of the nurses -- but that's about all.
Hopefully Kerry will be home tomorrow.
Meanwhile Seth is moved into his dorm room and has started classes. His only complaint so far is that his room is next to the laundry room for his floor and the squeal of the washer's spin cycle is rather alarming especially at midnight. (Surprisingly, he isn't bothered at all by the trains that run all night long on the track just a few feet from his dorm. Go figure.) Though the newness of everything must be overwhelming for him, he seems to be doing OK.
For the dedicated readers of the blog, I will do sporadic updates for awhile to let you know the results of the treatment. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
You all are always in our thoughts and prayers! Hope the skin shedding goes well this time. We will definitely have to hear how Seth is doing as we follow that journey in a few weeks. Best to everyone, love, the Kowashes
ReplyDeleteI'm with Seth: trains are soothing lullaby-ish sounds; spin cycles are a reminder of the earth's axial tilt.

We are so excited to hear Dr. C. is finished with the treatments. We've kept track for months and have prayed for a good outcome. Miss him so much at his job (which he is very good at, by the way). We now will pray all continues on the healing track. Good wishes to all your family as you go through the transition of a son in college and the ups and downs of healing.
ReplyDeleteWe are all cheering for you. Congratulations! Inspiring courage, humor, banjo music, twice baked croissants and chocolate cake all around. See you September 8. You remain in our thoughts.
ReplyDeletePS: Tell Seth to Rock out.

I'm thinking of you so often. Sending healing thoughts and prayers in your direction. I might even let you hang on to my coconut for a little while. It makes me feel better every time I look at it. Might do the same for you!
ReplyDeleteGo Kerry!!!
