Had a good nights sleep...probably the best yet, but having a problem keeping the food in. They are going to put him back on IV fluids for the day, just to get him back to where he needs to be. Dr. came in this morning and reassured us that he really is doing great. Also reminded Joe that these "walls" will appear every now and then and not to get discouraged. If he needs to take a break from the regular food, that is perfectly acceptable. Joey also made the decision to for-go the oral meds for now (i.e.: tylenol, ibuprofen) because his stomach is so raw. His stomach wasn't very tolerant of these before his surgery, so really no issue there. Doc agreed with him as long as he can tolerate the pain...which he is doing very well.
Note to sister Deb: I know it is tough being so far away, but please know he is in great hands here and believe me, they have tried many things to ease the nausea. The chemo he received was 40x stronger than a regular dose would be, so we do have to take that into consideration. I promise you he is doing great! When you get here this summer, rest assured he will be spending lots of time with you because he won't be going anywhere for quite a while!! Love you!!
