Hi Everyone,
Yes, I know I have been lax in keeping you updated. Just remember that no news is good news! Wally's chemo session on Feb 14 - Valentines Day, was "sweet". (Sorry for the pun) He was a little fearful that it was going to be a difficult treatment but it went very smooth and he was able to sleep. His red blood cell count was up to 35 and his CT scan and X-ray all looked good. He actually only experienced "chemo flu" for about a day and a half! He has been experiencing a little more pain in his stomach, hence the discovery of "Vicodin". Wally is not much of a drug man so when I mentioned that it is addictive, he decided that maybe he should only take it when absolutely necessary, not a few here and a few there for precautionary measures!
His chemo session on the 28th also went extremely smooth. We were in and out of the hospital in record time - 5 1/2 hours! I was a little concerned since he was flying out to Washington DC on Sunday for business and he usually gets hit with the "chemo flu" on Saturday but I spoke with him tonight and he hasn't been hit with it at all! Prayers are definitely being answered.
He continues to be "Project Man" and always has something brewing in his head. I continue to try and keep up with him but he seems to always be ahead of me by several steps.
We are learning how to schedule our time and food around his chemo. We save the fun things and the good, flavorful food for the week after chemo.
Please continue to keep him and our family in your prayers.
