May 12, 2016 (morning)

Steve had another rough night (pain).  It was also eventful as our fire detectors went off two times...we ordered all new ones this morning.  The nurse came and gave Steve his last IV (hopefully).  He's scheduled at 7am tomorrow to get a port.  Thank you for your love and support...keep the prayers coming.

For those wondering what a port is....here you go.

port is a small disc made of plastic or metal about the size of a quarter that sits just under the skin. A soft thin tube called a catheter connects the port to a large vein. Your chemotherapy medicines are given through a special needle that fits right into the port. You also can have blood drawn through the port.
