Thanks guys,

Bill is sooooo much better today. Somehow between the break in his treatments (3 days), the antibiotics, and probably lots of prayers from family and friends, he is feeling stronger and less painful than he has in two or three weeks. He is swallowing enough to get a bottle of gatorade down during the day and sipped coffee this am and was ABLE TO TASTE IT! Instead of reclining in his chair, he is working at the computer....amazing! I am so thankful. You better bet Amy, that I am getting lots of water down that tube...2 quarts a day...no small undertaking. I just chart it and try to stay on schedule...feeding and watering every 2 to 3 hours. He had only lost 1 lb since last Tuesday, even with the stay in the hospital.

If all goes well, we will be finished on Monday with rad treatments. Chemo is on hold until we see the MO on Thursday. So, a little "golden sky at the end of this storm." I am fully aware that this is not the end of hard times but I am grateful for a couple of really good days! Deb
