Sunday

Nice day...went to mass in Logansport and then to breakfast with Dave and Nancy Brandt -- my cousin and Scruffy's favorite babysitters! Had a nice time although Dave was really tired and on the verge of being nautious. All his counts are at rock bottom today and he feels cold. This is really ugly stuff. I wrote his update on his carepages....this is getting to be too much to do both! I have trouble with one update! ha.
Heard from West Virginia. Seems Davey left luggage on the bus in Beckly, WVA. So they called here. I called Shelby and told her...she said he was in awful shape...seems he took about 80 of the anxiety pills that had made him goofy here too. He couldn't walk, wasn't functioning, not eating, etc. etc. Guess he wasn't worried about how he looked to her when he arrived there.
I still don't get it.
Well...I have to go cheer on Peyton and the Colts ...even if he is brother to brother and nose to nose in this game.

cold stuff

Well I just have too many places to write now days. I have created a carepage on Dave that all the folks at Mayo's use to just update his daily routine and happenings. Not always good. If any of you want his care page, send me an e-mail and I'll send you the information. It is just a daily diary of how he feels, so really exciting reading material!
For now he is still nausious, (just tossed his cookies a little while ago) and so tired. He just has no enery at all. He went to have his blood work done this morning and then went toBurger King for a breakfast sandwich and it about wore him out. Tomorrow he has to go to Lafayette for more fluids because the creatinine level is still at 2.2 which isn't good. I will drop him off and then go drop Davey off at the Bus depot. He is going back to West Viriginia. I don't understand why, but he is. Guess he is happy about going back. It's a mystery to me.
Well looking for something COLD for Dave to eat. He is still coughing a lot and nothing sounds good to him to eat. This is an ongoing situation with chemo patients and I am afraid he has a long long way to go. It is a rough journey.
Later...
