Thanks for the update!

I was concerned about you and your husband. Now I see you have plenty of help, you just need to get them to help with what you need for both you and your husband. I also had teenagers while I was going thru treatment. I had no caregiver and it was NOT easy! I ended up hospitalized a few times and it was not a good situation at all for me or my children. Call in the troops and let them help!

As far as your husbands nutrition goes, every single day he needs a minimum of 2500 calories and 48 oz of water. I know it sounds like alot but its a minimum so please find some way to get his intake increased. It really is that important!

Hope this week is an easier one for everyone!
