One day closer to the end of treatment

Troy did really well at the oncologist's office yesterday. We were there from 9-5. It was a long day. He played his PSP games and we had fun talking to this other couple who had just started chemo treatment the day before. The man had lung cancer. He was quite a hoot and kept Troy's spirits up with his sense of humor. I think today it is definitely hitting him. He has been pretty nauseous and unable to eat and he is sound asleep now. There has been no vomiting. They pumped him with around 10 bags of medications and a lot of it was to prevent the vomiting. He has a take home pump of chemo medicine that will be removed on Monday. The kids and I went to the gymnastics center down the road this morning while Donna took care of anything that Troy needed. We have been trying to just let him rest upstairs, but we don't want him to be confined to his bed so we're going to try and get him downstairs some more. I'll let you know how the days progress. Thanks for the prayers and for thinking of us.
