Monday and Tuesday

Sorry for the delay, I have been at work the last few days and didn't get a chance to update the blog yesterday.

Thanks to all of you who were praying for no IV fluids
Sunday night was a great night for Dad. The muscle relaxants are working really well for him, he has small twinges and soreness, but no actual spasms.
Monday morning he had an early 6AM meeting at work, then on to the boutique for labs and possible fluids. The good news is that his kidney function looked good, or at least stable at what it was previously. This meant no IV fluids needed!!! Dad was able to go back to work and actually be productive. He did say that is was a long day since he started so early and that his back gets tired around mid afternoon, but no spasms. I did tease him that he forgot to take pickles and pickle juice with him to work.

He slept really well Monday night. Had his few twinges, but again, no spasms. He is now trying to recuperate and heal. Tuesday was also not that bad. He went to work again and is trying to be more productive every day while healing his back and resting as much as possible.

He is no longer has to take as many medications. He is no longer taking the allopurinol, in combination with his steroids and other chemo specific treatment. So this at least cuts his morning regimen down from 16 pills to 10 pills.

His next appointment is on Thursday, in the meantime he is working hard to stay hydrated. Keep praying, it is helping us all get through each day.
