Fierce Fighter

Here is an update on Superman.  He is still in the hospital.  It was nice to see him eat solid food and be able to keep it down.  Some other gastrointestinal issues are still a problem.  The docs are taking him off of IV meds and starting oral ones.  If the residual problem clears up tonight and his food stays down, he will probably be discharged sometime tomorrow.

He is in good spirits and obviously feeling much better. His color is more normal, although still pale.  The oncologist seems to think the chemo is working, I certainly hope so after the hell he has been through.  His next infusion is September 22nd.  The docs are working on a proactive preventative  plan to address the problems he experienced this time.  The only other alternative would be to stop the chemo and we know that is not an option.

Superman is in good spirits.  He was enjoying the St. Louis Cardinals game tonight and drinking a large vanilla milkshake (with a cherry on top) that his sidekick (me) brought him today.  He is a fierce fighter and continues to battle this cancer every moment of the day.  Thank you for your prayers, cards, and encouragement.  We could not do this without the support of our family and friends. Thank you.
