Breathless and tired

Since the last update, Charles and his wonderful daughters came to help. Charles worked and worked. Every time I turned around, he was doing something that needed to be done. He cleaned out a garage that desperately needed it, he fixed a number of things, mowed front and back, filled a dumpster will trash that has been sitting around. He even brushed Nash (one of the dogs) for about an hour. He helped keep the house clean, it was amazing. Thank you so much, Charles. John followed him around part of the time, wanting to help but ended up just visiting and observing. They left last Tuesday. Seems like it has been a month.

John and I slept after they left. Wednesday we rested, as well. On Thursday, back to Arrington for the next weekly infusion. This one only took a couple of hours. They refilled the pump that delivers the chemo 24/7. This round has been hard on John. He is out of energy, sleeps a lot and is having shortness of breath. I talked to one of the doctors yesterday to see if we needed to do anything else. I was told that if he keeps his fever under 100.5, is keeping everything down (and in), is not dehydrated, he probably wouldn't get any more help coming to the hospital.

During this time, John can do little other than sit in his chair or lie on the bed. He is just really tired. The tiredness, I think is contagious.

We are hanging in.
