day +65

Today was another great appointment, a long day in Detroit but it was all worth it.
Counts were all good and Brett's where he should be.
The hickman Cathater was removed today! It was a pretty simple procedure but very strange. They basically numb the area with a few shots then make small cuts until the cath is free, then they just pull it out of your chest. Brett said it didn't hurt but felt very strange. It freaks him out a little thinking they just leave this hole in your vein to close up on its own. He says it's a little sore but he's feeling good. No lifting or strainuous activity for 2 weeks... oh yeah and he convinced the nurse to write on the discharge script: "no dishes, no vacumming, no laundry. Patient cannot lift anything heavier than the television clicker. Patient needs shoulder massage every other day x 2 weeks" He's hilarious, huh?

He's been out riding, and rollerblading with his new skates. He's trying to keep himself busy but he's getting bored quickly. Can't blame him... only so much you can do out here in Mason .

We won't be heading north for the Stornant Family Camparama this year. We are pretty bummed out about it but the trip is too far and we just don't think it would be a good idea right now. We will miss everyone and we will pray for good weather and good times. Can't wait to hear about it.

Brett's biggest outing so far was to go to our niece Kera's graduation open house. We surprised many people by showing up and I think it really made Kera's day. It also made Brett feel good to see everyone and share in a little Stornant craziness. Nice to get back to a little normalcy.

We are hoping the the visit from Travis, Christine, Isak and Fin goes off without a hitch. They gave Brett the ok to have them visit as long as the kids are not sick. Brett's planning some fun with the kids... oh and Trav and Christine too. Hoping everyone stays healthy so we can enjoy some company!

I really don't have much more excitment to report so this is going to be another short post.
We'll keep you all posted on any further developments.

peace, love and happiness until next time
