A little GOOD News



Hey Ya'll,

Today was day three of Radiation! Earl is feeling OK. Not good, but not bad. Well, that's okay. He's not suppose to feel good but I'll take "not bad". He went in for his radiation today and the Doc said that his tumor was responding very well and that it has already started shrinking. Yeah! He has done very well this first week. He is taking a lot of anti nausea medicine and it is working. He has been able to eat even though he says everything tastes like cardboard. Hopefully by Friday he will start to feel better and maybe he can even play in the golf tournament Saturday. I'm gonna caddy for him. Okay, here's a little something I found funny, Monday night after we finally got to sleep, Earl got a BAD case of the hiccups. Then had them almost all day Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon he called his chemo DR and he said it is a side effect that only a few people get. They actually had medicine for him for the hiccups. The medicine has helped but as soon as it starts to wear off, he starts to hiccup. God has a sense of humor. So no matter how bad things are there is always something a little funny to laugh about. Thanks for the prayers. Love you all, Donna
