Paul had a six-hour chemo drip yesterday in Grand Forks. Steph reports that the room and amenities were all very nice. They try to make it as comfortable as possible for patients and family. Paul has "shy" veins, however. He was very patient as they tried five times to get the right one, and plans are set for Paul to get a port this Friday. His nurse is a cancer survivor herself, and she told them that a port is the only way to go. That will make things so much easier for everyone!
He went to bed feeling fine last night, and Steph said he actually slept quite well.
Today, Chemo Day + One, was not a good day. Paul has been knocked out a bit by the chemotherapy. I guess we'd like to think that means the chemo is doing it's job; it's some potent, powerful stuff.
Again, our Mom's prayer works the best: "God bless Paul, Steph, Emma, and Sarah that they may continue to be blessings to others."
Thank you all for being blessings to our family...
Steph here! Paul is feeling a little better today but continues to be tired.The knock out drugs dont knock him out! He has been eating today. Thanks Susie for the Magic Cup tip- we have dozens of them filling every open space in my freezer!You should have seen the girls eyes light up when they saw all the 'ice-cream cups". We continue to be so thankful for all the love and support from everyone. It has such a positive effect on us all.. thanks again,Stephx
