its the weekend...

...and all is well.

friday's trip to the hospital went very well-all the labs are good and holding just where they belong. he is drinking better so they didn't have to give him any (extra) fluids. this is a good thing.

we really are just watching the blood work and making sure that everything holds so that we can drop the steroids some more-he is still on a MASSIVE amount of steroids. we went for a nice long walk again today and he is getting more stable on his feet everyday-i think it has been about 10 days since his last fall. his scrapes and bruises are finally starting to heal-even little things like that take a lot longer to fix themselves.

his mental status is still a bit down-but i actually think i am seeing little improvements. he is asking for a little bit more information about the daily activities around here-he wants to know what day it is and what is on the adjenda for the day. this is a huge improvement. he is struggling a little bit with numbers-like trying to remember phone numbers and stuff like that-but once we review the stuff, he seems to be able to retain it. that CHEMO really wiped him out-more than anyone could imagine. but we are finally seeing signs that if we take it slow and steady-he can be re-built...one block at a time.

thanks for checking in and have a great holiday weekend. our basement is dry and the weather is nice and we are planning for a great relaxing weekend.
