Dave Update-June 5, 2011

Hello family and friends, just a quick update on Dave's progress.  Well, the chemo is kicking in and he suffered from some major nauseousness yesterday.  He is having a real hard time keeping food down and threw up several times last night and this morning.  To top things off, Mom was suffering from some stomach bug herself so they were both pretty much bed ridden all yesterday.  I spoke with Mom this morning and Dave was not eating and hadn't since the morning the day before.  He also wasn't taking his medication.  They had an appointment this morning at 11:30 and they were able to give him his medication through his water pouch, which included the much needed anti-nausea medication.  Really, this is to be expected and things will probably get worse as his immune system zeros out before his numbers start to rise.  Thankfully, as of now he hasn't been hospitalized.  Each day is a new day of unknowns so please keep your prayers coming.  Much love, Jeana
