Home Once Again, Yeah!!

Bill was discharged from the hospital this morning having finished round 3 of the Biochemo therapy.  As before, he is tired and experiencing a little nausea, but otherwise doing okay.  He will more than likely sleep most of the next two to three days and then hopefully begin to gain his appetite back and gradually his strength.  So far, no additional drama thankfully.  

We will spend the next few weeks working to get him stronger and put on a few pounds if possible.  This is certainly a good time of the year to gain weight, as most of us usually work hard around the holidays not to gain.  Unfortunately, he cannot eat all those sugary goodies that come with Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I'm sure we'll find something for him.  

If all goes according to plan, we will go back to the hospital for the 4th and final round of treatment the second week of Dec.  That should give him time to recover before Christmas.  We definitely have much to be thankful for this holiday season.  We are continuing to stay focused on the positives and as always appreciate your prayers and support.  We wish for you all a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with those you love.   Holly
