I'm writing for Marilyn today as she had a busy Easter day with family coming up from Denver for dinner. She was very happy to have her brother's family here. Having visitors always makes her feel good even though she gets tired. When she got too tired she just took a nap. This week will be Chemo #3 and they will add a new drug to the mix. They have waited to give her this one so her surgery would heal as this drug can cause bleeding if the surgery has not healed properly.
The good news from my point of view is she is eating more and we have been getting her hydration 4 days a week. The hydration has improved her kidney function which is to say the least is great. She also is slowly drinking more on her own. I hope that continues after this week's chemo. We are hoping to see some postive results for the chemo soon.
Our oldest daughter Megan has come for a short visit and Marilyn has of course loved having her here. It has also allowed me to run some errands. Kathleen and the kids are coming at the end of next week to visit while Jon is on Army business for a month. I'm flying to Texas to help her come here with the kids and I'm arranging to have people stay with Marilyn during the day while Erin is subbing.
Thank you for keeping her in your prayers and thoughts. John
We will be praying for Marilyn through this tough time. Hope that you see some positive results soon. Glad to hear that she is eating and staying hydrated. It will be nice to have more family there! Travel Safe John!
