Dave had a rough night last 🙁. He called me at midnight and I went to the hospital. We had a rough night and slept about an hour. His kidneys started having a rough time and his potassium and magnesium crashed. They started pumping him with magnesium, potassium and electrolytes, he was scared. His throat was swelling and he couldn’t swallow. The weekend nurses are not great. I went and got him coffee and it helped. Dari and Hunter came up this afternoon so I have come home to get some stuff done and sleep, I may end up there again tonight. I know this regimen of Chemotherapy they are doing is intense, but damn, this is my big tough guy and this is not supposed to happen to him. All I can hope is this to will pass and we will look back on it and remember, once again, how we held each other up, I love him sooooo much this tears me apart. I would give up pretty much anything in the world for this to be a bad dream. It’s been nice having Taylor here to help me and just get to hang out with me…I have missed this kid. Dakota is always my lifesaver, he came over again yesterday and mowed and edged (you have to remember we own over 6 acres). He cut around the pond and got rid of one of the chicken coops that I have wanted gone. He also ran into a huge snake (it’s a dead snake now) but this is why we have to keep everything cut down….snakes, I hate snakes….I don’t care if they eat the mice, I hate snakes. He left part of it in the goat pen, I keep seeing the goats going over to check it out 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️, I will dispose of it when I feed them tonight.
