Mark went in today for his second round of chemo. He was feeling better today and met with his doctor. He has lost 6 pounds, so we need to try to get that back on him. We are going to work hard at this. Other than the weight loss, the doctor was pleased. His blood counts were great-no anemia or low white count and the liver functions and bilirubin were totally normal along with kidney functions. We felt very blessed to get this news.
The chemo infusion went without a hitch. He is now wearing his 46 hour constant infusion pack and will go back Wednesday to get unhooked. He is feeling a little bit puny as he did with the last infusion. Hopefully by Thanksgiving these effects are worn off and he will be ready for a big feast. He is definitely abandoning the diet for turkey day. We plan to make all of his favorite dishes and the doctor said he could even have a glass of wine.
We spent the evening playing Scene It with the kids, Mark's parents and Mark's twin brother Matt and his crew. It was a lot of fun and Mark got so excited we thought he was going to rip the chemo infusion out of his port.
Thanks Ted and Jean for the ambrosia (?spelling). It is great and Mark is really digging it!!
Continue to pray for Mark's healing and strength. God bless!!
