Day Two of Round One

Day Two and, although we aren't getting any sleep at night, Billy is still feeling fine. They have him on a tremendous amount of IV fluids as well as a diuretic to cause him to flush his kidneys quite regularly. This , along with those sweet little girls that come in all night to get vitals, is keeping us both from getting any real sleep. Each time he wakes to go to the restroom, I awake with a start, fearful that this will be the time he gets sick. So far, God is blessing him with a strong stomach. The lack of sleep is not bringing out the best in either of us so we were a bit touchy with each other in the morning. We realized that Satan was trying to attack the weak spots, prayed, and moved on. The day went by quickly and before we knew it, it was time for his second dose of chemo. He handled the second day just as well as the first! God is faithful!!! The picture is of Billy while on one if his "walkabouts", as he calls them. As a chemo patient, he is allowed to go wherever he wants-even outside! He just pulls his little IV pole with him. This has helped with the cabin fever. All of you know how very restless he is when he is made to stay inside. Getting out and about really lifts his spirits. We went outside last night to get some fresh air and on the way back in, the security guard asked us if we had an overnight pass. Ha! Billy and I pointed at the IV pole and he said to the security guard, "Does this count?" This cracked us up!
