Life's little hiccups

Today, the weather has been great in St. Louis. The heat has backed off and there is a wonderful breeze. We plan to spend a little time outside.

Last night, Denny had a reaction to the chemo. He got the hiccups. These hiccups lasted for over an hour. They stopped for about 15 minutes and then started for another hour. This cycle kept repeating. About 7pm, I called the on-call doc for chemo patients. He called in a prescription that has helped. Denny will be disconnected from the chemo pump today at 4:15pm. We are happy about that!

The other "Incident" happened about 11pm. Denny and I were sleeping when I heard the alarm go off on his pump. It showed some kind of error message that caused us some anxiety! I called the home infusion after-hours service and they told us how to stop and reset. It all happened in about 8 minutes so everything worked out fine. Whew!

Other than that, we are wishing all of you a very nice day. I hope the weather is as great wherever you are as it is here.
