Treatment Week 2, Day 3

I cannot begin to tell you how happy we are that this day is over. More than half the week is complete! Once again, our day was redundant. IL2 dose, rigors, Demerol, fever, cold compresses, sleep. Repeat. The days are blending into one continuous cycle. A cycle that we can't wait to end. Please don't think I am complaining! Redundant is okay. It's fantastic, really. Redundant means everything is working. Chris is doing great. He takes each dose like a champion. He was able to get two doses in today, giving us a total of five, thus far. He is walking in between doses and drinking tons of water. He is experiencing some swelling in his hands and feet. I've been rubbing them with a special lotion that should help his sensitive skin. He tells me he owes me many a foot massage after this is over, and I plan on holding him to it! His wedding band is now around my neck, it was too tight on his finger. And of course, we purchased a metal that cannot be resized, or cut off easily. Therefore, I will wear it on a necklace close to my heart until he can put it back on. Chris is resting comfortably, so I'm going to snuggle up in my chair and see if I can catch the fireworks from the All Star game at Bison stadium. We are beyond thrilled that tomorrow is Thursday. We are getting there! Love to all! xo, Teresa
