Today has definitely been "Hump Day." Billy has had ups and downs today. (More downs than ups, but we'll take what we can get!) The diuretic has been working wonderfully. As of 5:00pm, Billy has peed 5 liters today! Whew....lots of potty time! He is so very tired; he can hardly hold his head up off the pillow. We've had a few nausea scares. This is the first time he has felt nauseated to the point that he thought he would throw up. I got the nurse and she quickly gave him some anti-nausea medicine in his IV both times. I'm sure it would have just been dry heaves since he has had NO appetite today. I finally convinced him to eat a PB&J sandwich at 6:00pm. That was the first solid thing he has eaten today.
Although it has been a rough day, we realize it could be a lot worse. Our heart goes out to the other patients and their families, who are very sick during chemo. We thank our Lord that Billy has tolerated his chemo rounds so well. Please continue to pray for his strength and endurance.
