Just a quick note

Well, I have come to my home away from home for a shower and to type the blog. Things are going well. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights were horrible. Michael didn't sleep therefore momma didn't sleep. I have a terrible sinus infection, but it does seem better. The doctors are amazed at how well he has done on his first round of chemo. This will be the worse so things hopefully aren't going to be too bad. He has had diarrhea, restlessness, sweats, fever over 101 degrees and no appetite. He is living on Italian ices and popsicles. He has lost about 45 pounds since all this started. We are suppose to come to our home away from home tomorrow morning if all goes well tonight. Well, I took my computer back to the house and when I got back to MD Anderson, the internet was back online. Michael's main oncologist has been gone for the past couple of days, so we have had another doctor checking him along with his doctor's Certified Nurse Practioner. We like all of them real well. They just came in and took his vitals and the fever is till normal. He is a little fatigued today. Hasn't had much to say or wanted to do anything other than lay and watch tv. We are looking forward to going to a house tomorrow.......Haven't seen Ronnie and Wanda in a couple of days as Ronnie has been pretty tired too!

Will write more tomorrow. By the way, Michael's leg has just about got back to normal as well as his upper thigh. Don't know if it is from the chemo or the lasic they are giving him..

Keep lifting him up in your thoughts and prayers......God is still on His throne and Michael is in His hands.....

Love,

Terri and Michael
