And the counting starts all over again. Today is day 1 of the second round of chemotherapy. Ryan had 1 bag of his first chemo medicine this morning and they started him on a second late this afternoon. It is still dripping, and looks like it will for a while.
This drug can cause dizziness and blurred vision as well as dryness in the eyes, so he is getting eye drops to help with that. Someone bought Ryan a pac-man game that you plug into the TV, we have enjoyed playing that tonight. It has about 10 different games on it, it is pretty cool. Ryan is enjoying himself. He has had a good appetite today and Aubrey and I have been enjoying our visit with him tonight.
Ryan is his normal joking self which is such a blessing to me because I hate seeing him look so weak and sick. He's not up to much this week, just getting the drugs in him and hoping for few side effects.
Everything is going well as of now.

Ryan I am glad you are enjoying the Pac-Man game. It was good to see you at home this past weekend. We love you. Curtis & Karen Shoemaker
ReplyDeleteHi guys! Glad you have found something enjoyable to pass the time in the Pac-Man games, etc. I'm sure hours in the hospital can pass pretty slowly.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be praying that the drugs will do their job this week without being too hard on Ryan physically or psychologically. We pray too that things will go smoothly for April and Aubrey in their travels to and from and in all the stress that can accompany something like this. God bless you as you glorify Him in your positive attitudes and devotion to Him and each other. He is good and faithful at all times.
Many blessings and thanks again for the updates! -Jill Steinbrunner
