Well, something is finally happening. Nothing too serious, but our Patient is feeling some of the side effects that everyone here kept warning him were coming. He had a bit of a rough night -- up a lot with the chemo version of Montezuma's Revenge (maybe it was power of suggestion after watching the "dung" show last night!). He also spiked a slight fever, has a few mouth sores and is feeling a little dehydrated. But, all in all, he's still functioning OK, and everyone here who's in the know assures us this is all normal. He's just really tired and uncomfortable. The narrow hospital bed has been really difficult to adjust to. He will probably (hopefully) cat nap throughout the day, hopefully with minimal interruptions. I'm going to try to run some much-needed errands later. Right now we're watching Wimbleton. That should put him to sleep!
Thanks for the great comments. Kathy J., it was great to hear from you. Keep the prayers coming & hopefully our Patient will feel better soon! Thanks to all.
Love,
Us

(although I really must say that life is pretty low when the high point is trying to get on the blog first thing.....)
Sorry to hear about the chemo-revenge and we hope it doesn't last long.
The girls are excited about seeing you on friday. Should be interesting to see how the three of them get along in the back seat of the car for 6 hours~hey can you guys get some sort of a deal on thorazine if we need it for the trip home? (And I'm talking Mark and I NOT the kids!)
You could also cough up some directions to the Summer House....
Adieux,

So we all learned that many years ago in the dung of time some Asian travelers came and unloaded on this new land (Montezuma’s Revenge?!). While I was disappointed to know the DNA analysis did not turn out any Moo Goo Gai Pan or egg roll, I was wondering whether I should have a “smellavision” for that show.
Greg, hope you feel better soon.

Are you sure it is cancer? Sounds like Herpes. Just give him the purple pill.
I heard about told your blog and, once the technology was explained to me, it seemed like a good way to let you know we're praying for you everyday.
Also, Deb mailed your shower shields and they'll arrive soon (none too soon?).

Smellavision? Francis, you are a better man than I am.
Mark, I can smell that it is coming! - Francis
