For the last 4 months our family has had a "standard" routine when it comes to Drew’s care. We typically would go in for an eye exam under anesthesia, then upstairs for chemo, then home for about 2 weeks of isolation. After that we would do it all over 2 weeks later. Tomorrow that routine changes. We will head in for our eye exam about 9 AM and the plan is to go home the same day. We are assuming that Drew’s exam will go well since he’s 5 weeks post chemo & it’s finishing it’s way through his system. If our assumptions are right, Drew should not have to go back for another exam until either November or December. On one hand we are excited to see chemo go but on the other hand we are uncertain of the future. We thought we were at the end of this road before but had to make a slight turn back. So needless to say we are excited and terrified at the same time. As far as what the future holds for Drew, only time will tell.
While the future is uncertain, we do know one thing, this experience has been positively life altering. We do believe that this illness can destroy a family, however our family has changed for the better and we learned so more about how to love each other & value our time spent as a family.
Please continue to keep Jack and Drew in your thoughts and prayers as we get ready to open a door, not knowing what’s behind it.
