DAY -1

Day-1...

I've been thinking all day about what I might blog tonight, which is why I'm so late posting.

I wanted to write something inspirational, confident and aw inspiring. But I got nothin'

Nothin' but the same ol' thing. So bare with me



Brett spent the day just like yesterday... headache, and getting sick to his stomach. He did a lot of sleeping and stayed pretty quiet all day. I went back home to get more things that we needed and do a few errands. I thought it would feel good to get out and have a task to do. But it was horrible. All I could think about was Brett. OH, he was in good hands... Jim and Sherry stayed with him, and our favorite nurse Nathan was taking good care of him. But all I could do was think about him and wonder if he was ok. Than on the way back to the hospital... it hit me. Tomorrow is THE DAY.



The past few days have been occupied with damp clothes, puke buckets, sips of water and trips to the bathroom. All of which have kept my mind other places than transplant day. Maybe that was part of God's plan... keep us both busy so we don't worry. I could think of other things that Brett would rather be doing to be kept busy but I try to find the best in this whole thing. Just like i try to convince myself that him getting sick all day is just getting that chemo drug out of his system a little quicker.



I tried to convince myself we are ready for this. I told myself Brett can do anything!! He really can... anything he puts his mind to he figures out a plan and executes it. Sometimes with too much thought behind it but he gets it done! And he's good at it... he's pretty much good at anything he tries. So why would this be any different?



He's spent a lot of time planning this, trying to find out all he could be for starting this process. I know he didn't get all of the answers he wanted. But I told him in one of our conversations about "why", that if they could tell him why he's gotten cancer 3 times in his life, someone would have a cure for cancer. Sometimes there just isn't an answer. You just has to have a little faith, he has to give a little bit of the control up to someone else, he has to trust. So tomorrow he's taking the risk, he's taking the leap, ... so I'm praying that the net will be there to catch him!

Transplant day starts early. Tyler has to be here for check in at 7:30... than the whole process starts. I promise to keep you all posted as much as I can. Tyler says he's feeling good and is ready for tomorrow. Please Pray for strength, peace, wellness and courage. Pray that the doctors and nurses have all the knowledge and confidence they need. And please give a little thanks that we have been given this amazing opportunity!!!!

PEACE and LOVE
