Thursday, June 12

Jim had a great day yesterday. He had 3 different Chemo infusions and is still doing well. He has not experienced any side effects yet. His strength is still very much up.

This morning he woke again at the crack of dawn. He did his walk on the unit in his costume (as he calls it) and came back and did several exercises . His mood is still up and he is making us all laugh. He for sure keeps the nurses and CNA's on their toes. I heard one CNA last night tell a CNA in training to watch out for that guy he'll give you crap. She laughed and meant it in a funny way of course. Today there is more chemo therapy on the agenda.

Brendan (our oldest) is going to come and spend the night tonight so if Jim is still doing so well this afternoon I think I will go home and spend a night without cot springs in my back. Jim's sister Nedra is going to come up and spend the night with the kids on Friday and Saturday, so I will be back to the hospital then.

Thanks for your prayers.

  1. I loved his pace he walks! Imagine him all dressed up in mask, gloves, and gown, almost speed walking down the hall. With gown flowing behind him and the soft padding from his treaded socks, it was really hard to imagine why he was there.
    It was great spending time with you guys yesterday. Laughter truly is such a blessing. Even during the hard times, being able to laugh together I think speaks volumes to faith and love.
