I am so happy to report that Jeff is feeling better. Significantly better! This is such a unexpected blessing. When he got so sick from the chemo, I didn't think there was anyway he could rebound this quickly. But it appears that he will have some "good time" in between chemo. Yippee! He is still feeling weak but his rash is gone, his mind is clear and he had enough energy yesterday to do a number of things. Here's a list: Check cattle, check sprinklers, and check water. He also plowed our roping arena. I noticed he waited until I wasn't home to do that! He moved the roping dummy from the barn to our front yard so he could practice roping. I'm sure he practiced for more than a minute! I haven't seen him on a horse but I'm quite positive that will happen sometime this week.
We have another blood test today. We will also ask the dr when his next chemo will begin. What are the odds it will be the first day of school? Nothing to do that day! But we don't know what determines when round 2 will start. Blood counts? It's on our list of questions.
Jeff has lost some weight. 8 lbs. Which isn't a lot but he didn't have a lot to lose. His appetite is back so I'm trying to fill him with calories!!! I hope he can gain some of that back. We hadn't really thought about that side effect. If he lost 20 lbs he would be very skinny! I can't imagine him losing any more than that. We'll see.
Blessings:
We are all healthy. No colds or viruses to worry about.
Lots of laughing going on in our house!
We found out there is a calm between the storms! We will love it while we have it. Extra food and laughing - what could be better than that?
Peaceful,
Jeff and Leta
