First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for their outpouring of support. This the first time I have blogged on this site and wished it was under different circumstances. I have heard from friends all over country, old friends from high school and colleagues and it has truly touched me. I haven't been able to reach back but I promise to in the weeks to come.
As I write this, I am sitting at my new hospital awaiting my first round of chemotherapy. I should be starting in about two hours (1PM Mountain time). I am so excited to get started and get the treatment underway.
I did get a bit of good news in that they think they may send me home on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week instead of keeping me in the hospital. I am trying not to get my hopes up to high but I would love nothing more to be at home with my wife and kids. That truly has been one of the hardest things about this past week.
I will try and keep everyone updated on how it is going. It doesn't sound like too much will change for the next few days so hopefully will be able to start answering back all of your messages.
Again, thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers. I feel great and am ready to get this going and will need those as we move forward.

Ditto on what Nellers said..What a fantastic attitude. I think it will actually help all of us worry warts, knowing that you are going into "battle" with such amazing strength and an incredible attitude. I know I already feel better about the situation. And, great news that you may be re-kooping (play on words there) at home. Awesome! We'll be thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are blogging Wayne! I can't wait to come see you in the new location. Love you so much!
ReplyDeleteWell looks like now you have started your treatment since past 1:00. I'm thinking of you on this journey and hope that the chemo attacks all it needs too. Your attitude is wonderful and will be a great witness to all those that have to go through the same thing.
ReplyDeleteHey Wayne, thanks for the update! You've definitely got the right attitude and supporting cast! You da man! We're praying for you night and day. Keep your head up, enjoy each day and let God take care of tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteWayne, I am honored to take your little man to and from school each day, but I can't wait until I can walk around that corner and see you standing there with him again! Thinking of you and praying for you constantly.
