HOME!!!

Oh, how nice to have Jim home! He is resting comfortably. It took a toll on him getting home...more walking and movement than he has had in quite a while. But, after a quick stop at Target to have his new prescriptions filled, we arrived home to the warm reception of our chocolate lab, Emily. Boy, did she check out Jim....she was concerned about the hand where he had the IV needle. But, after some good sniffs she agreed that it was SUPER AWESOME to have him home safe and sound. The oral narcotics continue to really dope him up. But, he will just have to stay on them until they know that the tumor has shrunk a bit. We will be meeting with his oncologist late next week to review the progress of the radiation and look at our options. I guess there may be some chemotherapy options right away (even while he is still on radiation). I've said it before....I'll say it again....he's a trooper. He amazes me. You would all be so proud of him if you could see the courage, strength, humor and determination he shows every day. I am making a big pot of chicken noodle soup tonight. Not much sounds good to him, but he will need to eat to get some strength back...so I'm on a mission. Here's to a good night's sleep!!
Love,
Elizabeth
