It is so good to come home to all of you..
My mom and dad went with me today, although I knew my mother would be heartsick to see Tom as he is right now. The visit was good for him, however, as I could see a bit of color coming back to his face while we were there. His voice is definately going - and he has no saliva at all now (I think that is because he has had 2 weeks of the 'boost' radiation instead of IMRT).
The doc said today that the pain comes when the blood is trying to leave the kidney, and it encounters the clot. Let's just hope this heperin (sp?) works quickly, because the pain is just incredible........
I'll hope tomorrow's update tells of great improvement! For now, I'll go take my medicine (lucky me - root canal on Monday!

)
Good night, all..
