I apologize for not blogging. The days have been going by very quickly since we've been home. Mr. T and I spend 2 days a week at Cheo....getting blood work done, changing his dressing and getting a check-up. Then we have a tutor coming to the house twice a week. The rest of the time is spent in doling out medication 4 times a day, and cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.
(I also had to wait a month to buy a new tower (hard drive) My computer was fried).
I live in a very old house in the country. We have many windows that should be replaced and we heat with wood and oil....which makes for a very dusty house. Every day there is a new coat of dust over everything....and I start cleaning all over again.
We had the rugs removed before we got got home...which helps a lot...but still there is so much dust that accumulates while we sleep.
So far....we've been very fortunate. Mr. T's blood counts keep improving week by week. His energy and appetite improves daily. As of next week....we will no longer have to go for check-ups twice a week. We will only go for check-ups once a week on a Monday. That's great news!
I haven't blogged for awhile......I have been so busy cleaning, giving Mr. T his medications, preparing a low-bacteria diet...and doing the thousand other chores that is needed to make this home run efficiently.
I've also been walking & sleeping on eggshells.....always wondering if I made the right decision in bringing Mr. T home......questioning every cough, sniffle and ache. So far....so good!
When I hear from other mothers at Cheo......that the hospital is crawling with disease...they have had to put kids with infectious disease on the oncology unit for lack of beds......... parents on the oncology floor have had to isolate their own kids in fear that their kids would get sicker....well then...I feel that just maybe I did make the right decision.
We have been home now for over a month....and still I feel overwhelmed. I still haven't seen my doctor or dentist....I still haven't slept for 8 hours straight, I haven't read a book or seen a movie........and I probably won't for awhile yet. I'm not complaining......we have been blessed.....at least we're home and things are going well. There are some mothers right now with their children at Sick Kids waiting to be transferred back to Cheo...if everything goes well......and so I pray for them each and every night...for a safe journey home.
Again......I apologize for not blogging sooner.....

Praise the Lord, Matty! I'm sorry the work is so hard, but I know you did the right thing. WE keep praying for Tayten and are so happy that the transplant took. I feel like I see you every day on The Divas... keep on keeping on!
Leon and I are so excited for you all. Thank you, Matty, for taking time out (when you didn't have it) to let us know Tayten's health is on a positive tract.
I hope you can fit some rest in, you work so hard, but Tayten and Maggie are worth it, I'm sure.
This is wonderful news, Matty! No apologies necessary, you're doing what you're supposed to be doing. :)
Kelsey and I are so happy to hear that everything is going so well. You both are in our prayers often. May things continue to look up for you and keep going on track.
Take care and I'm sure you don't hear this enough.. You're a wonderful person to do this for him!
Matty...I've been absent from the blogging world for a while. I see you haven't posted recently, either...how is everything going? I hope Mr. T. is doing better every day--God bless him.
Mattie, so many times I wanted to email you, but whenever I'd click on the link my silly computer would open up some sort of email that came with my computer, and try to send through that. I could never actually "see" what your email address was, and I couldn't figure out a way to change this from happening with my pc, when clicking onto a link to send a message to your email ( from the other blog )... now, when I go there, it is all closed up, and I can't even post a message. I'm tippy-toeing, posting this here... no one wants to disrupt private space. But please, let us know, for there are those who do care, even if we haven't been in touch.

Awesome post.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never
understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!

Hi, Neat post. There is an issue along with your site in web explorer, could test this?
IE still is the marketplace chief and a good part of other
people will miss your great writing because of this problem.

Hi Matty...was thinking of starting up my blog again and was perusing all my old "blogging buddies"...How are you and how is "Mr. T"?
