He woke up feeling refreshed, had a great breakfast (Via Deanna's Delivery Service) and took a bath! They tell us tomorrow will be the day he begins to feel the side effects of the chemo. Essentially he'll be really tired, could develop mouth sores, stomach problems, nausea and maybe diarrhea. Pray for minimal side effects please.
Last night was pretty rough. From the lack of sleep to pain meds not being given on time, Steve had a tough time staying awake for the chemo. While he wanted to eat the popsicles he was too tired and they also tasted funny. So instead he fell asleep. But luckily for us after the chemo was finished the nurse made it possible for us not to be disturbed from 10:30pm until 3:45am! That allowed us to get a good nights sleep.
There is a direct line into the room, 310 area code, 267-6157. If you'd like to call, please do. Hopefully he'll feel well enough to talk.......if not I can pass on a message.
