Day 3

Day 3 has been good. Thank you to those that have posted well wishes and prayers, we all really appreciate it and are very touched.

Dad's back was hurting him last night. He did take his pain medication, but during the middle of the night he still felt very tender as he tried to get up.

Dad went to work today, so he is still hoarse from all the talking he is doing. His blood sugars are very well regulated with the insulin they have him on. He has a great appetite and has been eating well.

Mom got bit by a spider- her whole hand is swollen and red. She went to the doctor today and now is taking antibiotics and steroids. One thing is for certain--they are certainly well medicated between the two of them.

Tomorrow is the second round of treatment. It will be an early and long morning, since Dad needs blood work, a visit with Dr. Kahzdan plus his IV fluids and velcade. I will post tomorrow and let you all know how it went.

Hi Gill! This is Arcy, even though we haven't officially met, I've heard a lot about you. I'm one of Trish's good friends. Both Ram and Trish are close to my heart and for that reason I want to thank for creating this site and keeping us updated on your dads condition. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
