FRIDAY UPDATE

Dad had another appointment today with the oncologist. The results are becoming quite predictable these days! Dad needed another infusion of fluids before they sent him on his way. We're pretty sure that the nurses are convinced that Dad would rather get an I.V. than drink water! It seems to be easier these days. When I was with him on Wednesday, we worked hard at getting him to chug more water down, but it came back to haunt him. Thursday morning, he ended up throwing up all of the hard work from Wednesday! He was not in good shape yesterday, and Mom was getting a bit nervous. He took more zofran (anti-nausea medication) and felt much better once that kicked in. He's now going to take zofran a lot more regularly (we do know that if you wait until you feel nauseous, it's too late). Mom and Dad both think that he can only go up from here. It has been one rough week!
