Dad woke up today not feeling very well. He has struggled with stomach issues throughout his stay in the hospital thus far, and today is no exception. As a result of this discomfort, his appetite is pretty minimal. His blood pressure has come down (hallelujah!) but the mix of chemo drugs, potassium, and antibiotics have raised his blood sugar levels. He now gets insulin to stabilize the high blood sugar.
It's been two days since the bone marrow biopsy and dad really has no major soreness and is feeling good. He fought through physical therapy today, per Dylan's insistence, and was able to walk from his bed to the hall door three times. Despite not wanting to complete that task, his blood pressure is always better after his exercise, and he has a lot more energy too!
Please continue to pray for appetite and continued strength for his body as he fights through this process!!! Comment with any encouragement, and as always, we are reading these messages to him! (He really loves them!) Love, Nicole and Jenny
