Hooray!!!! Randy was able to come home yesterday afternoon.  He is feeling worlds better then he did on Monday.  The blood transfusion and extra hydration seemed to give him a boost.  Just last night you can see a difference.  He was awake more and talking more!!  He actually has started to build on a model.  He's putting tank tracks together!!!!

He was able to eat, at a slower rate, for 7 hours on Tuesday night.  Last night he was able to eat 3.5 cans of the Ensure over 13 hours!  He was a little bloaty this morning but now as bad as before. 

I want to say thanks to our Home Care nurse, Jodi, who was able to get Randy where he should be.  I feel so much better to have her on our side. 

The CT scan results were not in by the time we left so we should get them on the 31st at our scheduled appointment time.  The doctors did say from his "un-trained eye" that he did not see much difference from the last CT (from January) but not to quote him as the tumors are measured in millimeters by the technologist and then compared to the last one we won't know how much any have shrunk/grown/stayed the same until report is in. 

They are going to suspend the chemo treatments for a couple weeks to allow Randy some time to get stronger.  His new medicines to help his tummy seems to be ok.  No adverse reactions!!  Praise God.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers this past week.  It is wonderful to know how loved Randy is and that you all care!!

God of Love,
I thank You for the people in my life
who are easy to love.
I thank You for my family and friends
who understand my actions,
who support me in my decisions,
and whose presence can lift the burden of a thorny day.
 
Amen
