A bettter day!!

Kent has had a better day today. He is very weak and doesn't feel like doing much walking; but he sure has to get up a lot and go to the bathroom. That takes a lot out of him. He has been having diarrhea for days now. The chemo that he got today should take care of that problem if it affect him the way it does other patients. They have been giving him lots of fluids because of the diarrhea. His feet have been swelling and they give him medicine to keep the fluid down which means more trips to the bathroom. I feel so bad for him. He is on lots of medication. Seems he gets one medicine and then they have to give him something else because of the side affects from the first medicine. Like they say they are practicing medicine. The staff here is wonderful. They are going to be doing a chest ex-ray every Monday so that they can keep tabs on what is going on there. He is breathing a lot easier and isn't as short of breath. He got platelets again today. We did watch the Jazz game tonight. It is the first time that he has had his glasses on for several days. He doesn't look as sick when he has them on. Chris came today just before the chemo and gave his dad a blessing. It was very comforting. Keep us in your prayers.
