Recovering

Hello!

It seems as though the family is on the mend. We still aren't back to 100% after our stomach bug, but we're closer to well than to sick.

David is doing well, although, he is getting very fatigued. He is starting to have some of the skin irritation around his eye that they had warned us could be a side effect of the radiation, but it's not too bad yet. I think the thing that I have started to notice especially this week is just that he tires out a lot quicker than is normal for him. This is also a normal side effect of the radiation, and I'm sure this has been exasperated by getting sick last week. We're starting the slow process of getting the kids in bed at a "school" hour, so that extra bit of sleep has been helping some. He still is very tired in the morning when I wake him up to go to the hospital, and his naps are long.

We are happy to have the big kids back with us this week. They have had a grand time traveling here and there and spending time with people they love. But, we are glad to have them with us for the remainder of David's treatments.

Well, as of this moment, there are only 10 days of radiation left! We're looking forward to having this in the past, but we are so grateful that it hasn't been as bad as it could have been. We aren't sure when David's next chemo will be scheduled yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I can!
