Les had his second chemo treatment today and seems to be tolerating it well. He doesn't eat much, but isn't complaining of nausea either.
Late this morning, he wheeled himself all the way down the hall and back (550 ft)! Once back in his room, he stayed sitting up for a while as well. He buzzed the nurses that he was ready to move back to the bed and when they didn't respond quickly enough, he told mom, "I'm getting no sympathy at all." She asked if he thought he needed it. His response, "I guess not." :)
He did sit up again later in the afternoon for about 45 minutes, so I'm sure he is tired tonight.
One more chemo treatment tomorrow, a down day on Sunday, and then they are picking him up Monday at 10am to take him to the Ashland Care Center. We hope we are making a good decision regarding the Care Center...guess we'll let them know as time goes on. I know it will be good for mom to be closer to home. Enjoy the weekend weather!

Nik, please know that your dad and all of your family are always in our prayers. I think you'll be happy with Brookestone. I know our friends were.

So glad to hear that Les will be here in Ashland. Hopefully, he won't be to overwhelmed with visits. Let us know what all of you need and what we can do to help. As always - Rod, Cheryl and family
ReplyDeleteOnce again from Ben's very cool website - Psalm 31:24 "All who trust the Lord, be cheerful and strong." I would say you are doing just that. I appreciate keeping up with use of the blogs. (And very well written I might add.) Please know that you are in our prayers daily. Hugs to all of you. And WOW! 550 feet is really a pretty long way!
