Jerry finally made it over the hump from the first round. I took him to local hospital Friday for more liquids. Second time but seems to have really helped. He feels so much better with his nausea and able to eat again. Now, however -- it's always going to be something (Rosanna Danna) isn't it? -- he is fighting mouth sores which makes it hard to eat. I have read so much here and there and ... just wondering if someone could please share any recommendations to help. Also is having trouble with eyes feeling like they are burning? Maybe just the fact he finally got a good nite's sleep at 10 days! Overall, much better so looking forward to this week and next enjoying eating before round 2 hits on the 16th.
