Week 6: The Week when lots of organ development began!
This was a tough week – Sara was hospitalized May 3rd and remained in the hospital until the following Friday.
Thankfully, the hospital stay was super beneficial – it resulted in her going home with pain under control and with her first chemo session under her belt.
Most of my time and energy was spent with Sara this week – sitting with her in the hospital. There was lots of driving between the house and the hospital because the dogs and cat still had to be taken care of. Luckily, I was able to take the full week off work so that I wasn’t also worrying about that.
Having the week off work and a bit of downtime at the hospital did give me amble opportunity to look at resources on pregnancy, do some reading, etc.
While Sara was having her chemo administered, I did go home as to avoid any potential exposure on my side. We’ve talked to her doctor and confirmed we’ll be okay at home together after chemo – we just have to take certain precautions that aren’t too cumbersome.
