Good evening,
It's Thursday night and our Johnny is still in ICU. His Chest Port was removed late Wednesday night. The first chest port as you will recall, was removed due to infection and now the second chest port has been removed due to the cause of the main infection. This, however, does mean no chemo. Or no chemo for quite a while. It is essential the body recovers from this assault before he can even think of having chemo again.
We hope to have Johnny discharged Friday lunchtime. Our fingers are crossed, we wish to the stars we hope deep inside we give strength to ourselves of positive energy "Johnny shall be discharged tomorrow". But. And yes there is a but.
He will be released with a month long P.I.C.C Line of antibiotics. Which cannot be taken orally, must be through the vein. A nurse will come twice daily to administer the medication.
His body has gone through pure hell these last few days, he has a long path to travel, remember we nearly lost him Monday night, again the Doctors reiterated this to him. After days of lying in bed we had to get his legs working, stimulated and walking. We went for a jaunt around the ward. I had to pretend there was a Ferrari waiting downstairs for him. Funny his stride picked up slowly, albeit moderate hesitant steps.
We are keen to be at home together, a little normality, if that is at all possible.
Thank you for the emails of support, love and strength. He needs it.
This is for you my darling, darling Johnny: "You will never walk alone".
Below is his all time favorite: Liverpool Football Club Anthem.
When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm, there’s a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm, there’s a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song of a lark
Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
With hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
