8/19/2017 Tough Day!

First I would like you to know that the site I use to post my blog, WordPress, has been giving me some trouble. I had written this blog and another one a few days ago and they are lost in cyberspace somewhere! This post I took a picture of so that is why I am reposting today. Sorry about that and I hope the problem is corrected now! 

My honey’s mouth sores have gotten worse and are moving down his throat. He isn’t able to eat so he is back to the Ensures that he loves to hate! He is sleeping more (probably a good thing) and not as lively and active. They started him on pain meds and antibiotics. Theses days are really tricky in that, when a symptom pops up they treat it, but sometimes the treatment causes something else to pop up. It kind of feels like a dog chasing his tail. For example, yesterday he needed platelets, then he became feverish. The doctors tell us that this should all be getting better soon. Hang in there my Superman! 

Elaine is doing good. She told me she was surprised that she didn’t bounce back quicker. I wasn’t surprised though because if she would have seen the amount of bone marrow she gave her brother, she really wouldn’t have been surprised either! 

A little funny for you……Chris’ pain medicine is called oxycodone but he keeps calling it oxymoron. We don’t correct him because it makes us smile every time! Even the doctors and nurses get a little kick out of it!
