Hello all---
Thus far Jeff is tolerating chemo quite well with no nausea or side effects. He is quite tired as he didn't get much sleep as he had to sleep on his back or upright cuz he was afraid of dislodging the port/ball. He was able to get up this am and mow the lawn (hopefully for the last time) and then go run some errands with me and Paige after we got our hair done. Let's hope that this is the trend for all future treatments.
Right now he's watching the Utes play Iowa State yelling and cheering just like he was at a live game. Some things never change.
Based on how long the treatment took on Friday we have rescheduled his chemo to the afternoons every other Friday. Originally we were told it would take about 6-1/2 hrs but we were in and out in about 4-1/2. By rescheduling it we will both be able to work a few hours in the am before heading up to Huntsman. Requires someone bringing Jeff to me at work or Jeff to take me to work in the am but well worth it as we are trying to minimize time off work as much as possible.
The nurse will be here approx 10:30 tomorrow am to disconnect him. He meets with the oncology nurse next Friday and we repeat the whole cycle again in 11 days.
You guys are amazing! We are very proud of your strength and courage as you face this battle. We will continue to pray for you and hope that though we rarely see you, that you can feel our love and prayers. Eileen and Kevin
