Hard day

Well, as far as Michael is concerned, this has really been a good week. He got through the 'red devil' really good and has one more day with his other two chemos...He is doing real good. No nausea, no temperature, and still has a good appetite and good outlook. Today has not been too good for me especially after lunch when it hit me what day it was. Today would have been Marc's and my 28th Anniversary and a year ago tomorrow mother passed away. Michael said he wanted to take me out to dinner....said he couldn't be my husband but would take me out. Hope all is well at home and you all had a great week. Love, Terri and Michael

10:00pm......Well, Michael and I went out to Jax Restaurant here in Bellaire for dinner....he had a hamburger and I had a fish plate....About half way through, he crashed. He was so tired he could hardly hold his head up and so we packed up what was left of our dinner and headed home. He wanted to watch the Astros with his Uncle Forrest, but went straight to bed and has been asleep since. He has such a good heart......wanted me to stop by the flower shop so he could get me some flowers, but told him he didn't need to do that. Hopefully, he will have more energy tomorrow...we will see. It is amazing how fast he can go down .....one minutes full of vigor and the next ready to collapse. Next few days will probably be rough but we will make it. It seems like when we finish the chemo is when the fatigue hits the hardest....I guess that is to be expected. We have to go in tomorrow for a fluid refill of magnesium, potassium, mesna and sodium and injections of nplate to keep his platelet count from bottoming out and neulasta to help the red blood cells in his bone marrow. He will probably have flu like symptoms after the neulasta shot. Thanks for all the prayers and this round will soon be history.

  1. Happy Anniversary!!!!! You were blessed with a good man and God needed him a bit more than you did....I am sorry that you had the bad memory today of Marc's death...but what a way to go....no pain and in the next minute in the loving father's arms....don't you know that he and your momma are really working overtime taking care of you and Michael...the Mary with all her memory intake is probably having a fit about you not eating right and all those lovely things that momma's like to fuss about and Marc is so proud of the way Michael and you have handled all of this. Just cherish the happy memories that you have and celebrate a little bit tonight for all the many blessings you've had in your life and those to come....

    We love ya'll

Im still working on getting your ball, shouldn't be a problem especially once the season starts back up and folks are back in town. I am glad to see you are doing well with this round, you got this man! Have a great week this week bud!
