Week 3 - The Good, the Bad & it was a little Ugly
Hi everyone -
Week three.........DONE. As this is titled Week 3 was all of the above and more.
Scott slept well last night, even though we was still quite queasy when he went to bed. The a.m. started out slow, but after we arrived at the clinic and they got more fluids going into Scott - (a 2 bag day) "tank him up" for the weekend according to Judy, RN. He was feeling better as we left, and eating snacks and drinking his meal replacements well, 3 bottles by noon today.
Scott's weight was down 5.4 lbs. from Wednesday, that sure got everyone's attention...but we told them we were sure that once Scott gets ahead of the nausea, his eating will pick back up, he really trys to eat. So....since he was feeling better when we left the clinic @ 1:30 we stopped at Culver's on the way home to celebrate getting thorough the week. Scott was unsure, but tried the chicken strips and a few fries, went down good he said, of coarse a chocolate shake on the side. All is "holding" well I am happy to report.
Planning on a quite weekend. We will celebrate another birthday though...
Happy 26th Birthday Ben on the 26th!!! Your golden year!!
Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers you are sending our way, we appreciate it all so much.

Another week all done--just like your regular work week, once you have half a week done the rest is easier. Hope you feel better this weekend so just relax and rest. You have to help Benjamin celebrate his birthday tomorrow, don't get too wild! Wish there was more we could do for you other than wishing the best for you. You are always in our thoughts.

HAPPY GOLDEN BIRTHDAY TO BEN!!
OK Scott you are 1/2 way through--keep up the good work.
Bummer-- that you are actually being encouraged to eat anything and everything high in calories--but you can't even enjoy it!! Well, just remember that it is medicine.
Hope that you enjoy your quiet, laid back weekend. Eat a lot of cake and ice cream on Sat.!!
I think of you constantly--
and send my love,
Bernie W.

Hi Scott&Roxi,Just a note from the coast. I'm thrilled that all is going as planned, that makes me feel like all my prayers have been answered. Eat like we used to and remember ice cream is one of the major food groups. All my best.

Hi Buddy
Glad to hear you got through week three. I am sure you can see the light at the end of the tunnel by now. Stay positive, keep a stiff upper lip, make sure your glass is always half full and you will make it through all of this. Thank you Roxy for all of the support you give Scott. They say that behind every good man is a GREAT WOMAN.
All my love and support to you both.
