Today (Thurs) is the fourth day of treatment and the last for this cycle! Unfortunately along with a mjor heat wave, the expected side effects have arrived! Andrew's feeling quite "blah" despite the anti-nausea medicine he's been taking. He also has gained weight due to the excessive fluids he is receiving as part of the chemo protocol. While I (CJ) like him 10lbs+, it does add to AJ's discomfort. We're heading to a family wedding in Michigan this weekend and while we're thrilled AJ is allowed to go, we are praying that he has the energy to be able to enjoy being there.
Although we sound like a broken record, once again we say thanks for all the kindnesses, big and small, that you've extended to us. "The world is your canvas for kindness," was last week's challenge in the sermon at church and it seems that we've been that canvas for many of you!
