Chemo is not fun. Two weeks in have left Paul very tired and with little appetite. The last few days have seen a couple days where he has a little bit more of an appetite, but at a time when Paul needs food and fuel, he had no desire to eat. This is the third week after chemo, so we are hoping for an upswing in energy and appetite.
Brother John took Paul in for a check-up on Friday. Blood work from that day indicated that there will be no change in his chemo - he will stay the course set out for him earlier.
One thing that may help his energy and appetite is getting "tapped." Today he will get his abdomen fluid drained again.
Thanksgiving was low-key, but most of the family was together in Larimore. Plenty of eating and plenty of decorating for Christmas. We are anticipating a full house at Christmas. The "usual supsects" will be there - John and his family, Jane, David, Paul and Family, Susie and family - and hopefully even Ardis and family will be here. We are also hoping Stephanie's parents from England will be here as well. This gives us something to look forward to!
Check out information about the benefit planned for Paul on December 10 on the sidebar of this blog! THANK YOU!
