Hi Lois,

Its something everyday right?? Just be prepared to be crazed with trying to take care of all the collateral damage this disease and treatment throws at you!

Yep, Bill lost his voice a few days here and there but oddly enough he has it back since a couple of days after his hospitalization. I think he had a mouth/throat infection going on that got zapped by the IV antibiotics and that is why he is so much better. He has so much less gunk in his mouth and throat...he is swallowing liquids..almost 40 oz today and his speech is so much clearer...just a miracle. His burns have turned brown and are peeling so he has areas on his jaw and throat that look like baby skin. Aloe jel worked very well for Bill on those burns and was so much less sticky and greasy.

WE ARE DONE as of yesterday afternoon! Gave the staff a bag of Kisses and walked out the door. I could cry at the friends that we left sitting there...more treatments ahead...one woman with lung cancer (young) not doing so well...her husband so sad. What a God awful disease this is!

So, your tough Buzz is facing a tough enemy but he will get through this and so will you Lois. You are on the downhill side...just keep plugging.

Sending love and strength you way, Deb
