Day 3 at Primary Children's Hospital Update

We just got back into our room, Tucker is sound asleep sawing logs.. Justin and I had some time to think over our best plan of action-just for today to get to tomorrow (seriously, that is all we can plan right now), and we came to the decision that he needed to go home. He needs to pick up the kids, do house work- i don't know really- but i sure sent him with a long "honey-do" list. We have alot of things that have to change because of our current situation. In reality only one of us needs to enjoy the 1st class comfort of the awesome char that folds out into a bed- now bed may not be the exact word I'm searching for, cause to me a bed is soft, with sheets, lots of pillows- and it just has a "cuddle factor" that you can't get from anywhere else other than your bed- so this (I'll use the word bed loosely) BED that I'm enjoying is just a step up from the floor in more ways than one.
The best part is that its just 1 foot away from Tucker and honestly, that's all that matters to me.
his surgery went fine, no complications. They took out some bone marrow for testing and now he has 2 brand new beautiful white tubes coming out of his chest. Well its more like one tube coming directly out of his chest for about 2 inches and then it splits into 2 tubes. This will help with him getting chemo & anti nauseating & antibiotics all at once. But i think one of the saddest heart breaking things about this- no more swimming for Tucker. : He is such a little fish, ever since the first round of cancer and he was "FREE" of the tube, we have had a hard time keeping him out of the water. He could swim for hours and hours... my heart just breaks thinking about the moment i have to break THAT news to him... Cancer is bad sure, to you and me- but to him its "that sucks!"... but when get down to the 10 year old level- swimming ranks right up there with cartoons, DSI, & Xbox.
but hey, we will get through this and by damn I'm going to throw him the biggest swim party of his life the first day he is TUBE free!
anyways- that's all for now.

    Thanks for making this blog so we can know what is going on with Tucker. We love you guys so much! I wish we were closer so that we could be there in person to help. But for now, just know that we are sending our love and praying our hearts out for you all. Take care. XOXO

    Hey Amber-
    When Tucker came over to play last week- swimming was one of the main topics of conversation. I told him then that our pool was open all summer whenever he could come over. Let him know that as soon as the tube is gone - He can come swim whenever he wants!! Please tell him Braxton misses him already and can't wait until they can play video games again.
