Ken saw the cancer doctor last Tuesday and everything appeared to be great. We walked out feeling light hearted and then received a call the next day his bloodwork was off. He was given the choice of 14 days of oral meds or a 2 hour iv session. He elected for the oral meds of course! Everything seemed great for the first couple days then when the weekend arrived so did the side affects. He began vomitting etc. Unfortunately our first soccer meeting was Saturday morning, and he had been so looking forward to coaching. He drug himself there and plastered a smile on his face and gave his little orientation. Thank goodness a good friend is his assistant coach and covered for him when he had to hide in the bushes for a little vomit session. You just have to laugh! We escaped I think without anyone seeing. Today he seems better. If he is not 100 percent tomorrow we are heading in for the iv. We've learned our lesson and will take the long iv session next time which will end up shorter in the long run. It seems just when he feels better he gets hit with a change that throws him off mentally and physcially. The cancer doctor said he needs to find a hobby or something he enjoys doing to help his mental state. He was a little grumpy last week as anyone in our local Walmart could tell you. We were yelling at each other like lunatics until I directed him to the sale on new attitudes in aile 7.
Mom's hair started falling out last weekend and by Monday she looked pretty rough. I had to shave the rest off. She looks very cute in her bandanas! Second chemo session was last Thursday and she seems to be holding up much better this time.
Friday is the heart test so prayers that he passes with flying colors.
Love,
Christina
