RAI treatment update

Tonight is Dean Busser's first night home. It was so good to have him around today and Dillon was so excited to have daddy home. It also feels so good to all be under the same roof tonight even if we are all in different rooms. It's a huge pressure off my shoulders knowing he is here if I go into labor and won't miss the delivery. It feels so good to have the complete isolation behind us and I can't wait to be past this completely.
Dean has done pretty well through all of this, it has definitely made him weak and exhausted especially not having thyroid medication but he is so strong and only has one more day before he starts his thyroid medication. We are taking extra precautions through all of this and staying apart, limiting contact, and sleeping apart for extra days just to be 100% sure the boys are safe (they required two days and said if we want to be cautious limit extended contact and sleep apart for 5 days, we stayed apart for 3 days and are limiting extended contact and sleeping apart for 7 days we also aren't hugging or holding hands or kissing for 7 days when they only suggested 2-5 days)
 This whole thing has definitely been weird, last night we got together for the first time for a few hours and not being able to hug, kiss, or hold hands was strange, now being in the same house sleeping in separate rooms is even stranger, BUT knowing he will be healthy and this will be over before Mason is here makes it all worth it.
Monday life will go back to normal and this will all be a distant memory. I'm ready to have my husband back to normal and Dillon's so ready for his daddy to be able to play and cuddle.
Monday Dean will have a full body scan to check for any possible cancer and Tuesday he has a follow up for the lung bleed and ulcer and to schedule his repeat brochoscope. Tuesday is also my final Dr appt before Mason's csection. Dean returns to work Wednesday and works through Sunday and then is off for a little over a week for family bonding. These last few weeks of 2017 are going to be crazy but hopefully all happy moments from here on out.
