DAY +1

Wednesday, Day +1 in this adventure.

All is going well. Brett is doing really good...feeling tired and weak still from the chemo. Lightheaded when he stands up so getting him to walk around or sit in a chair is a little bit of a challenge. But his spirits are pretty good. He's making jokes when he's awake and giving the nurses a hard time.

It's going to be a long road until he gets his energy back and it breaks my heart alittle bit everytime he looks at me with those blue eyes ... almost as if he's asking me to get him out of here.

So today I've decided I have to get tough. He needs to get out of here and back on that bike as soon as possible! He seems to be giving in a little bit to this weakness and I dont' feel good thing. Not that I can blame him... trust me he has reason to be feeling crappy. But it's just not like him not to have a little more fight. So I'm gonna do some of the fighting for him. He jokingly said he was going to kick me out of the room when I was nagging him too much about going for a walk. But I'm not scared.. I think I can take him!

Everything else is good. Jim and Sherry were here again today. OH Sherry was concerned that you all thought that they abandoned Brett yesterday during the transplant because I didn't mention them in my posting. I figured you all would just know that they were here too... but just in case I thought I'd better clear the air.

Our sister in law Christine sent me an email today about a conversation she had with our nephew Isak. Isak and Brett seem to have a very special bond. When they are together you can't seem to tear them apart. I that I thought I'd share the email...she wrote
" I was telling Isak about Brett tonight and I said 'Uncle Brett is sick, he's in the hospital' He had a sad look on his face so I said 'but Uncle Tyler helped him today by giving him new blood to make him better'. He got all excited and said ' can I do that too?'
The giving must run in the genes!!!

peace, love and happiness until tomorrow!!
