End of Round 2
Spent almost all day at NIH--11 am til 4:45 pm. Apparently you have to be really hydrated for the Cytoxin--so a bag of IV fluids first, then the Cytoxin, then another bag of IV, then the PICC line was removed and we're home. Maureen brought over dinner (yum, thanks, Maureen) and sat with us as we watched President Obama's press conference on his first 100 days. Except for spending a lot of time in and out of the john getting rid of those fluids (and hopefully cancer cells as well), Jim had a very good day. Thanks to Young Jim (AKA YJ) for bringing over those two darling children last evening! Nan (AKA Barbara)

Yesterday I read comments from Jim (YJ) Fay and Jim Burke on the same page. Especially together, the Jims don't work. I flash back to "Jimmy Burke," "Jimmy Fay," Ultra-man, The Ace, Frau Belch, etc.

Hi Barb and Jim, You really make us feel so special...with all you have to deal with, you call up to ask about our health! You guys are too much! Thanks for your constant thoughtfulness and the example you have always been to us. You surely teach us every day about love, love, and more love. These comments are getting wackier just like this family we are lucky enough to belong to. Hi to Mary with the wooden leg, from Susan with the plaster hand and John with the stoney kidney! Keep up the good fight Jim. We know it can't be easy. Love surrounds you, S and J

ReplyDeleteDear Uncle Jim, Aunt Barb and Family,
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to do this blog. We are all praying for you and sending love and good vibes your way. Cytoxin is what saved Ryan's life as a toddler. He doesn't remember all the peeing though. Guess that was normal for a tot-boy!
Love you all,
Charmaine
Dear Barbara and Jim,
ReplyDeleteWe continue to be so appreciative of the updates. At the end of the day I am so anxious to get up here and into the computer. Good news from yesterday! Another round completed. Jim, Alyssa and Frank were so happy to get to talk to you yesterday. They both said that you sounded great. Keep up the good work. We continue to send many prayers your way. Our Lauren has had high fever for several days now, which has been scary with all the swine flu reports. She was at the doctor this am and of course was afebrile and acting fine, but by late afternoon temp back up to 102. Hope tomorrow brings a better day for her. Relax you two and enjoy being at home. Pleasant dreams tonight!
Love, hugs and kisses,
Jeanne, Frank and Alyssa
