So it happened. The chemo started hitting him Friday night and by Saturday morning he was wiped out. He felt achy, nauseous, hot then chilled, just plain awful. Like the worst flu you've ever had. Poor guy could hardly make it from bed to the bathroom. He drank very little and and ate even less. He slept and took the drugs he could handle. The pain medication and anti-nausea drug knocked him out which helped even more. He said he never wanted to do this again.This morning (Sunday) he felt slightly better and actually got out of bed and came into the kitchen and ate a little. This picture is
from this morning. He thought he looked like a terrorist...just needing a little more facial hair. He seemed to have a tiny bit more energy and actually said he could probably handle this if he only felt extremely awful one day. He slept a little today and was able to stay "vertical" more than horizontal today. We are so happy he felt a little better. We actually walked to the ward and back tonight. We're proud of you Craiger!
Wow - Craig! You are doing so well! You are tough as nails and are conquering the battle! We are all behind you and cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteThat photo is pretty scary! Not quite terrorist... but getting clos. I am so sorry he is feeling so sick, funny how it is supposed to make him better in the end. We are praying for all of you!
ReplyDeleteCraig - great photo! I know that you will fight this with all your might - and that's pretty mighty. Know that I pray for you several times a day, think about you and Suzy and the kids all the time, and am with you in spirit. You're setting the bar high on enduring all this. Go CRAIG!!
