The next day after Chemo

Pop had quite a difficult day today with the side effects of chemo. He spent the night (last night) vomiting and with diarrhea. I had his prescriptions filled this morning and he started his medications. He feels a bit better but very wiped out as you can imagine. He has been drinking Gatorade and had some chicken soup for dinner so I don’t believe he’s becoming dehydrated. That would be a serious concern, of course.

Although he feels terrible, he remains in fairly good sprits. I left him around 6 pm and Jim showed up to hang out with him to watch the Phillies game.

Roxane and I will be going to Virginia for the holiday weekend to visit my little sister, Jessie. I’ll keep you all posted on how Pop is progressing when I return.

I spoke with mom yesterday from Puerto Rico and finally told her what was going on.

Thanks everyone for your prayers and concerns. Special thanks to Titi Judy, Titi Elba, Tio Luis, Tony and Gringy for their phone call or email of encouragement. We all appreciate your support.

Love, Jim, Tom, Ron & Patti
