Unexpected!

Dr. Weinstein came in this morning, we told him how much better Tom was feeling. Tom's blood oxygen levels have greatly improved, (you didn't even know they were down), shortness of breath gone, pain way down. Dr. W. explained to us that even with pneumonia you wouldn't expect his lungs to sound better yet, it takes a while for the junk to clear out. I was watching his expression when he was listening, I'd call it puzzled. He said "that's unexpected, his lungs definitely sound better, not all better but better". We don't know if it's the antibiotics or the chemo, but whatever it is it seems to be working on his lungs and probably whatever was pressing on his nerves, causing all that pain. Dr. W says it doesn't matter which, it is it only matters that he's improving.

Now the chemo, luckily he had that good day yesterday, we got quite a bit of nutrition into him, because now the nausea has set in. He is getting good medicine that is reducing it from, "I'm going to throw up", to "not hungry and a bit queasy".

We're on schedule to go home tomorrow.

Thanks again to every one that has jumped in to help, driving kids, doing deliveries, taking care of critters and house. Also, thanks to everyone supporting us with prayers, good vibes, energy, incense, positive thoughts, emails, texts and comments. It's all a huge help and today it seems to be working.
