sunday night update...

it is almost 11pm on sunday night and we have both decided that this has been the "best" post-chemo day he has ever had. we both know that more side effects of the chemo are still coming in the next few days, but so far he is tolerating this chemo very well.

i just finished sorting his medications and flushing his central line with saline and heparin and injecting his lovenox into his stomach...some days i think i should have gone into nursing. his appetite is starting to DIVE...he was hungry for gnocci's so i made them but he said they didn't taste right. he was hungry for a chocolate milkshake so i made him one but he said it didn't taste right. he was hungry for animal cookies so i got him some but he said they didn't taste right. his stomach is a little iffy tonight plus his taste buds are in some sort of funk.

his sister and crew were down to see him today and the in-laws surprised him with a visit too.

his mind is a tad sluggish but still on track. he is very tired but still able to keep going as long as he gets up and walks around every so often. he wants to keep going. he makes himself get up and read his bible and get a shower and get going. as long as he is able he will try to keep moving.

we are back to the hospital for a day trip on tuesday. this will be the day we find out what is really happening on the inside...his blood counts, platelet counts, potassium, magnesium, liver enzymes, etc... we could be there 2 hours or 8 hours depending on what he needs. they call it transfusion support. they find out what he lacks and then they transfuse it back into him.

all in all things are going better than expected. thanks for all your prayers, love and support.

we will update with any changes.

thanks for checking in. have a great day.
