Blanket Mercy

 Brooklyn is home - We are so happy about that, we all have a lot to learn still!

I had my 2nd Doxil infusion today. They filled me up on Benadryl and steroids before the infusion to prevent a reaction. It worked! I met with Dr. Buys before the infusion. We talked about all the issues related to this infusion, she lowered the dose by 20% because the side effects were so brutal after the first infusion. She was so sad to hear about Brooklyn.

I had almost 2 hours to wait between seeing Dr. Buys and the infusion. My allergies are killing me right now and I just needed a place to lay down, zone out and close my eyes. There are a couple offices just outside the infusion room that are separated from the main hallway by a partition. All the lights were off for the two people that work there. In their space, there was a two seater "couch" if you could call it that. They are very uncomfortable, certainly not designed for someone to curl up and go to sleep! But that's what I did. I was far enough gone that I didn't see a man come over near me. When I sensed he was there, he was carefully, gently putting a new fleece blanket over me. I lifted my head enough to see his dress shoes and pant leg. I said "Thank you!" as he walked away.

It really was a cool experience I am so grateful for. Life has been pretty rough on us lately. I couldn't have handled it if he came to scold me, or tell me I couldn't sleep there and I had to move. He blessed me with a tender mercy I've desperately needed.
