Thursday brings lots of fluid gone!!!

We are pleased to say that Dan has lost 17lbs in the last 2 days and that is a good thing. Fluid seems to be leaving-- he is breathing much better and lungs sound like they are back to normal. He did stay up most of the night again going to the bathroom but we have had breakfast, taken his morning meds and also taken a walk. He is now resting in his recliner and we are waiting for the docs to make their rounds.
He will be getting some more chemo again today-- he also got some on Tuesday. It is a mild chemo which helps to get rid of his cells --it does not affect the new cells--now tell me how that works. Oh
well guess that is why they are the docs and I am the caregiver.
This has all been such an amazing journey. As we took our walk this morning--we saw outside 2 different peoples room --the nurses and docs preparing for stem cell transplants --so amazing how much good they do here. We will just pray those people have good results.

I will try and post some more pics later today or tomorrow. Things have been quite hectic but hopefully will be a little more calm today.

It has been raining here for 3 days... so I am just keeping my happy little self right here- I brought my medicine and clothes for several days and Dan has plenty of clean clothes so we are set.

Love to all of you!!
Dan and Rhonda
