Looking Good

Suz is home now and I may co erst her to start writing in the blogger. Words can not describe how lovely she is and what an important member of the family she is to us. Rich finally got some real pain management and was in good spirits yesterday. He started walking .......two times and his gait was more balanced and coordinated the second time around. Got  to wake up the body.We try to 'bathe' him once a day with the big wipes and shower cap thingy. Today we are going to do the shave......and put on after shave (Jovan Musk of course),  We are still waiting for the HF (holy fart) and are starting to bet when that will happen. Sheila put her bid in early. Rich's stomach output has dramatically slowed down and is usually very clear. All good stuff. Suz has been checking the stomach and there is lots of rumbling all over the tum tum. Doc said 3-6 days so we are hoping for Saturday.

Suz got a copy of his chart and that will be something she can address. I have comfort with his team of doctors. They are trying to get him strong enough for the first hit of chemo. It's been a frustrating tap dance here and I am seeing the integral part each team member plays. They see him as a person and not a bed assignment. Grateful. We stay as later as we want, laugh loudly and kiss frequently. Another day.
