We've had a pretty uneventful week--the usual fatigue, but on a good note Jim's appetite is back! When we went in to NIH today for cycle #4, they found that Jim was dehydrated (3 drenching night sweats last night) and had to give him a liter of IV fluids before the Rituxan. While there we had a lovely visit from Ethan Kohn (Jim's cousin, Val's son who works at NIH) and also our son, Mike. Then we returned home with Jim's infusion pump going. So far so good. We're trying out a new sleeping medication for Jim tonight since he is on Prednisone again and typically can't sleep while on it. Wish us luck. Barbara
Erin surprised us tonight--she must have ESP because Barb came home sick with a GI bug! Erin took over, thankfully while Barb slept. Feeling much better 6 hours later--hope I'm well enough to visit our new grandbaby tomorrow. Our prayers are with you, Kath and Dan. B.

D-day the 6th of June.Pray for all those who died on the beaches of Normandy. Hope all goes well with the arrival of another Fay grandchild. Tell Jim I went to the SPC re-union last night. Chatted with Joe Raferty, sends his regards and prayers.Great to see old friends. Had a nice chat kidding and all before I realized he was the president. Home by 8.Ana Cravo assures me she will mail "everything that comes to me" to Jim. I would have some nice pictures, but on returning home I noticed the SD card was left in my PC not the camera. I'll do better tonight JIm.Here's hoping session 4 goes better that the 1st 3. Love to all the Fays. We're praying for you JIm
ReplyDeleteClarification of above . The president wasn't Joe Raferty. He was a short little man,that I couldn't place. Turns out we sat right behind him on the stage of the 2009 graduation ceremony.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you were sick, Barbara. Luckily you have beautiful children to step in when needed. Hope you feel well enough to visit your new grandchild today. We are anxiously awaiting the news about Kath. Jim, hope you had a good night's rest last night. We are praying for you and all your family. Watched the D-Day ceremonies this morning and got chills. Thank you to all the vererans out there for keeping us free and safe. Love, Joanne
ReplyDeleteDear Barbara and Jim,
ReplyDeleteSo glad last week was fairly uneventful. You both needed that. Maybe cycle 4 won't be as difficult. Keep that appetite going, Jim. Barb, I'm so sorry you had a bug. Hope it was short lived. Congrats to Kath and Dan on the birth of baby Charlotte- beautiful name and I'm quite sure beautiful baby too! Wow you two grandparents! 12 grandchildren! Good job! Love to all you Fays!
God bless- prayers, hugs and kisses on the way,
Jeanne, Frank and Alyssa
