Half Way!

We are halfway done the chemo, and things are going well. He's struggling with doing number 2's..(a side effect of the chemo) but I am trying to solve that naturally before they want to give him Lactulose and Senokot.. I have lots of experience with constipation as Avery suffered with it for a year before Jane fixed her.

This wonderful nurse we have Victoria, arranged a message for me today from this other nurse who works in the sedation clinic. She came into my room, sat me in the chair and messaged my shoulders after a long 12 hour shift. All I can say is wow! She said there were several knots in my back... so I will have to go and deal with that when I get home. I have these wonderful patches though, they are menthol and camphor and they radiate heat into my muscles... ahh.. They are called Salonspas and they are available at Asian Stores..

I have Adrenal Fatigue.. Jane is hooking me up with some goodies that will help.

Lyric played with little Gavin today, he came into the room and hung out playing games with Lyric. I took some photos and will post them as soon as I can. But Gavin would sit here and cough.. poor guy. He has a fungal infection in his lungs. And laugh...giggle and chat. His second language is hospital. He can tell you all sorts of medical facts, and he has a box where he puts his collection of medical supplies to play with. Throughout the day he will ask to "play" physio. So they will call the therapist and they will "play". So cute.

We are hoping to be home for Halloween. If we are in the hospital I still want Lyric to be able to dress up still. Apparently they all dress up here. How cute would that be. I would love to take photos of that.
