Hard day

This has been a hard, frustrating day for Jim. This was the first day that we went to radiation from home. It was purely exhausting for Jim to get ready and into the car. Today confirmed the decision that we made at the end of last week - Jim will be on Short Term Disability at work. He needs to spend every ounce of strength he has to concentrate on his health. He needs to battle with all his might. I will also be taking a leave from my work...caring for him is all I have strength for. Getting home from his treatment was even more difficult...he could hardly make it in the house. Then....tonight he had a seizure. This is the first full-blown seizure that he's had since December 5th at work. I immediately called his doctor. He had me give Jim additional anti-seizure medicine and an extra pill that reduces brain swelling. Tomorrow before his radiation treatment he will have blood work done and we will discuss what to do. I would imagine that they will want to do yet another scan to find out what the heck is going on. He is most comfortable sleeping on the couch. I am going to sleep on the floor next to him so I can make sure nothing happens during the night. Maybe we will find out more tomorrow. I wish I could take this from him....I don't want him to have to go through any of this anymore. He's so weak. I wish we could all bottle up a little bit of energy for him. Think positive thoughts for Jim.
Love,
