another weekend approaches...

well, tim FINALLY got his chemo last night...there was a minor delay in the chemo pharmacy but they eventually brought it up. they started his PRE-CHEMO stuff at about 10pm so it was probably around 2am when they finished.

he is going into this round of chemo pretty tired and run-down already. pray that he has the energy to deal with all the "stuff" associated with these wicked drugs. he needs to get about 4 more doses of radiation also before they re-evaluate the big picture.

he seemed pretty good last night when i brought the girls in to see him...but he called last night and he was exhausted!!! please pray specifically that he can EAT. his taste is all screwed up and his nausea has also picked up a bit.

well, i have to get the kiddos moving...fridays are always tough in this house.

thanks for checking in.

tim and tammy

ps...one more major prayer request. tim is not aware of this but as of today i am officially OUT of paid time off. i have been approved for a PTO donation program at the hospital where co-workers can donate some of their vacation time. i did this last time and people were very generous. (but it is approaching summer time and everyone has vacation plans of their own plus i am not very good at solicitation). some people have already asked about the donation program so i am sure that i will be OK for a while, but i have to admit i am a little nervous this time round. when the PTO option runs out they will allow me to take a 45 day unpaid leave of absence. hopefully we will not have to get to this point.
