We went down for breakfast and talked about driving back and Aj says, I will drive home. I looked at him and said, are you serious??
Yes he was! He drove the whole way home and we were chatting and he was doing great - I mean really great. He said he probably felt 80% ok and that is the best he has felt in a long time! As you could see, the closer to Austin we got, the more snow, it was crazy! Schools all finished early and have a late start tomorrow, barely any traffic out because its 'snow chaos' - its hysterical! The roads are as good as dry and its not cold enough to freeze on the ground. :) :) :)
Sienna & Morfar was outside making little snowmen today after school. Even found little carrots to put as noses.
So the whole day has been so great - whenever Aj has got a chance he has been outside, came with me to run errands twice - he never runs errands :)
I try to feed his as much as I can, I put nuts and all sorts in the shakes to add calories to them. He has shakes in between the normal meals. Its amazing that he looses weight even though he is eating as much as he used to if not more.
The only thing that he has felt today has been that there has been some joint pain and tonight when he was going to bed, his stomach cramped up twice. Aj walked around the house for a bit and then laid down.
Earlier today I did send a private message via the 'mymdAnderson' page and told Dr. Fayad that Aj had these pains and cramps and within 2-3 hours his nurse Amira called me and said she had called in a prescription. The only thing was she had called it in - in Houston because she thought we were still there. So I asked that she would call it in to HEB here, but when we went to pick it up tonight, they had filled the prescription in Houston already and the insurance wouldn't cover it again in the same day.
Will try to get them tomorrow instead.
I have to say I was very impressed how quickly MD A responded! :) Its a personal page where we get updates about appointments and where the doctors can communicate (Houston-Austin) plus we can send and get personal messages to the doctors.
