Braxton is at the hospital this morning for some tests prior to hs next admission for chemo. He was originally scheduled to be admitted today, but with the infections he had last week, and due to the antibiotics used to treat them, his kidney function has been low. His doctors want to make sure that his kidneys are functioning normally and that the infections are gone before beginning the next round of chemo.
So today is a day of "hurry up and wait." Braxton will be at the hospital most of the morning submitting to various tests. Then he will come home this afternoon and wait to hear the results. If all is well, Braxton will be admitted tomorrow for his next round of chemo. If something is not back to normal, then he will wait a few days before going back to the hospital.
In the mean time, thanks to all of you who have left comments - Braxton loves to read them! (And we do too)
Also, great big thanks to all of you who have brought food to our home. Life has been a little bit easier without having to worry about meals - especially since I would have been the one responsible for many of those meals! :-)

Hey Braxton!
Nate and I'd like to come see you today if you are up for it. Give me a call when you get home if you'd like a visit.

Hi Braxton!
Just read your post about your test and getting the results tonight. Hope all goes well and that you can continue with chemo as planned. I know how bored you must be. When I had my hip surgery I too was VERY bored. With the nice weather coming there will be more outside time and that will be good. My offer of a movie still stands. Let's see how next week goes. See you soon.
Love, Barb
