DAY PLUS 8 - JULY 25, 2008

What a crazy week! I'm so glad it's Friday....the mouth sore's continue to get worse each day. Now its difficult for Mr. T to drink anything even water....and you'd better believe when Mr. T can't eat or drink......he's not a Happy Camper!
They tell us that once his counts come back...the mouth sore's will disappear. Till then he controls the pain with the morphine pump. We continue with the foot soaks...mouth rinses & lots of morphine.
I had asked the Child care Specialist for Paint by Numbers for him. Sometimes when you do something like that...it can take your mind off your body...and the different aches & pains you're going through. Right now he's totally absorbed in the painting & much calmer.

I just wanted you to know, I am here everyday checking and praying. I just don't get to comment much. But I am still here.

Hang in there both of you!!!

Hi Matty,

I was gone for a while and I just finished catching up on all your posts here. I'm in awe of Mr. T, his strength and all he faces each day. I hope his counts start coming up as soon as possible and his mouth starts feeling better right away. I saw in an earlier post that you were trying to get a room at RMH. Did you get in?

Hugs and prayers,
Jennifer

I've not gone anywhere, still waiting with you both. I am so grateful for you that you have access to that bookstore and that the nurses are so understanding. Hang in there, not that I doubt you will for a second.

I hope the counts go where they should soon! I also think about your family at home.

And it is heart warming to hear about Mr. T's soft side, his concern for those around him.
