i went back...

to read some of the "older" blog entries...some of them i could just copy and paste on todays update. we have reached the part AGAIN where the "chemo-brain" has set in. i would have to say that this is the HARDEST part for me to work through. i know that this is a temporary thing and that he will come back to join us here on this planet, but in the mean time it is tough. he gets things all jumbled up and gets very frustrated although i doubt that he will remember much of what is going on over the next couple of days. he can't remember the day or the month or the year. he still knows me and his date of birth...that is a good thing i guess. he is 50/50 on who the president is...sometimes he knows and sometimes he isn't sure.

they were still planning on sending him home today, but if he had a rough night they might still change their minds. i wouldn't mind if they kept him another day or so, but i think the insurance company is probably itching to get him out of there plus they will need his room for another chemo patient soon.

his last radiation treatment is today. he electrolytes are doing some bizarre dive...he is constantly getting fluids and potassium and magnesium and all sorts of stuff that comes in little bags. they are always hanging something else on that IV tree of his.

well, time to get the kids to school and head back to my post. i will update when i can.

thanks for checking in.
