5th Chemo Treatment on Friday April 13th

Ted is doing well with his treatments. We had our 5th Chemo treatment on Friday. The Doctor said he is doing well and they are scheduling him for a CAT scan soon to see if there are any changes and sending out for his CEA levels again. Since we have had so many problems with Dehydration we scheduled him to go in for Fluids on Tuesday whether he needs them or not. Because more then likely he will need them by thursday. Today is his yucky day. Yesterday the day after chemo he did well. We went to my cousins to run some gutter for him. We didn't put it up but he drove and was feeling fairly well. Today he is tired and not so hungry. So I try to feed him as often as possible and get him to drink fluids. His blood counts went down a little but we think its from the stent they replaces and the nephrostomy in his kidney. He lost some blood then so hopefully he will replace that soon. Even though his counts aren't real bad. The size of his blood cells are small. So they might consider giving him some iron if needed. That is another all day process hopefully he won't have to do that.

Still waiting to hear if Kyle got into the ATC. If you don't know what that is. He applied to a program that is half day, for digital design. He had his interview and it went really well but we haven't heard if he got in or not. We are all keeping our fingers crossed. Sam made the track team again but has a bad ankle right now. Possible sprain or stress fracture. So we will have to see if she is going to continue to run or not this year. She is also diving and having a great time with that. Of course the ankle problem doesn't help with diving either because it is the foot that she needs to bounce on. Myself...i'm just getting grayer. At least that can be fixed with a bottle. Well that's all I have for now. Talk to you all soon.
Love, Karen
