Jon just posted a status on Facebook that said something about Geli heading into the hospital for her second dose of chemo and the other kids having today off school (it’s a Professional Day) and then he said something about us all going into town together “for the fun of it”.
Which, if you’ve ever taken 5 kids ranging from 14 to >1 anywhere, you know that the “fun” that is spoken of is less “fun” and more “stressful” than anything.
I guess if you are going anywhere, Children’s Hospital is a good place to go, in case anything goes wrong or…you know, for kids to be able to just be kids?
Not that I’m expecting anything to go wrong, but wrangling children is almost as fun as I’ve heard wrangling sheep is, and if it weren’t for the fact that we need to get passports in order to be able to even apply for Geli’s Wish, then we’d be staying home today.
In the Wish package, we were given a coupon for Blacks to get Passport photo’s taken and the closest (or most convenient to us) Blacks Photography is……..in Metrotown. Sweet!
So, we wake up this morning and prepare for chemo and pictures….how fun!
We’ll be hitting the hospital first and hopefully we’ll be in and out of there within an hour. We do have to wait for Geli to get a blood count so that we know if she needs a transfusion or not, but I’m not guessing that it’s necessary. It usually isn’t after only the first week of chemo….but as every week goes by, the likelihood of her counts going too low increases…..the actual chemo doses should only take less then 10 minutes…it’s the waiting…..oh the joys of waiting…….
And so today…..we head in and I’m really hoping that it’s more fun than it should be!
So how did the picture session go? fun, eh? 🙂
