Chemo: Day 2

Another 24 hours down and still no real adverse side effects. Trent has been a little more tired today but no nausea. His appetite has decreased some and he was not nearly so peppy as yesterday. For a while he was actually kind of irritated(ing)-which is really unlike him. We got two walks in. Our "walks" are really just two laps around the floor-probably about 1/2 city block and that was as much as he could do before being too dizzy. I stepped out for a few hours today to see Zach in a program at school and of course that was when all the doctors decided to drop in. So there was a lot of good information shared which Trent cannot remember at all! So I will have to try to catch up on all of that tomorrow. We also had a good long talk with an oncology nurse/educator today. She was very helpful and taught us a lot about what to expect and what to be watching for. Kind of scary-but our reality.

  1. Day two, ya hoo!! Every hour down is an hour towards recovery. It's an hour forward, not backwards. Dizzy Trent...oh that's gotta be hard to deal with!! Keep the laughter top priority. Write down the funny stuff and toss away the bad. Almost done with #1....
    Love you guys.
