Feeling better and better

Sally is regaining some of her strength and her spirit (and mine) has improved by an order of magnitude. There is no nausea any more and she is eating very well. Her weight is now about 120 lbs which is not quite what it was before this setback, but much improved from the 112 lbs about 10 days ago. She remains on the acid reducing medication daily and has reduced the Zofran to about once a day--taken prophylactically. Today is the first day that she has called some of her close friends and was able to talk on the phone without getting sick. The next checkup is Wednesday--for lab work. She has had few side effects of the therapy.

We have decided to hold on sending any Christmas cards this year--For those people we have emails for, we will direct them to this blog. I might even post a few family pictures if I can figure out how to to that.

So dear friends, keep up the good thoughts.
