As each day goes by Steve is feeling worse. Yesterday began the increased weakness and fatigue. We got him to take his daily bath and sit in the chair for a while but he never left the room to walk the hallway. It's important to his recovery that he be as active as possible and walking the hallway is key. It helps to avoid pneumonia, blood clots (he has a history of) and atrophy of his muscles. Please pray he'll begin walking the halls again and also take all of his medicines. He's avoiding the ones that taste bad and help with fungus and mucositis. He already has thrush and this morning there was a new sore in his mouth. His appetite is nonexistent, but he has been drinking juice, sprite, a little water and some ensure.
