I am tucked into Katy's window seat (oops -- Katy & Erik's -- love that guy) drinking coffee in the NY mug. Katy has a mug from all of our "girl" trips & so I think about all our good times as I choose my mug. I will sit here for a long while as Katy sleeps ... and sleeps. The fatigue she carries with her is palpable, her energy is zapped ... but she is still beautiful.
Their apartment is filled with the sweetest cards & good wishes & flowers. Their romantic story has touched many. The caring helps.
Speaking of caring -- the nurses who attend to Katy in her treatments are awesome. To a one, they are young, highly efficient, friendly, chatty with Katy as they know her story, & confidence -- inspiring.
Yesterday Katy's Oncologist repeated that Katy is an "A+ student". Her response to her treatments has been perfect. My joy is tempered however, as she has 6 more emotionally draining treatments. They take a toll. However, her husband, both families, friends, faith, work, bike rides, Phillies games, & an impending move fill her life.
Tomorrow we train up to NY to meet Erik returning from Spain. He managed to get us tickets to the Phils vs. Mets at Met Stadium. Always something to look forward to -- and looking forward to August 16th is the most focused thought of all.
