Settled In....

We got a room about 6:30 last night, got up here and settled about 8pm. They started IV fluids and Lasix(to control water weight, its not taking any off, but its not allowing any more to be put on so we will take it!) Today they started with the premeds steroids and anti nausea, the on to the Gemcitibine (which resembled corn syrup consistency dripping) and then Taxel. I have been trying to keep him vigilant about mouth care with doing all their prescribed treatments 4 times a day but its a bit of a battle because apparently one of them doesnt taste so good. I keep reminding him that that taste is going to hurt less than the sores he will get so get to gargling...So far J has not had anyside effects yet, but they are cumalative so it will get worse each day. They will treat the symptoms just so far none to treat...I think that is good at least he wasnt sick right out of the gate like some stories I have heard. All the nurses have been really good so far. Its only been one day and I am already going stir crazy in here. I dont know how J is going to stand it.. Oh we did get out and walk two circuits around the nursing pod. I will try to get him to walk two times tomorrow. He is eating and drinking well, we are having a bit of a hard time with his blood pressure but they are keeping on top of it. Thats about all for now... Oh yeah if you want the address to mail him a card or to email him ....email jasonejourney@gmail.com... Prayers for continued lack of side effects!!!Thanks guys, prayers welcomed Kimmy
