The smile on Andrew's face tells the entire story of his stay in Reston Hospital this week. He has been responding well to the treatment, eating 3 square meals a day (at least), showering, checking emails, going on walks outside in the evening, driving all of us crazy and being a real PIA -- as usual. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
As a lively treat to our evening we were visited by Dr. Felice for what we thought was going to be routine checkup and idel chatter about his day. We were right about the checkup the rest was a pleasant treat for all. Though no money exchanged hands and no tickets were issued, Dr. Felice put on a personal magic show for Andrew, Gwen, Steve and I in Room 573 at Reston Hospital. We had the best seats in the house. The card pictured in this blog was from one of the tricks. The only thing that could have been better is if he would have been able to pull a rabbit out of Andrew's hat. Maybe next time!!!
We can never put a price on the overall care and personal attention that we have received at this hospital. Everyone knows us by name, greets us with a smile and has Andrew's overall wellbeing in mind at all times. Dr. Felice has gone above and beyond the call of duty to accomidate Andrew wants and needs .... and the Magic Show tonight was just one example of this.
If Andrew is doing as well tomorrow as he has today, he will be able to go home, sleep in his own bed and come back for outpatient chemo on Friday. Though it may not be Vegas .... you can feel the excitment in the air of the possibility of spending the night at home.
So for tonight, he .... stays in Reston (I mean Vegas!!!!)
Good night Piglet ... Good night Pooh ....
