When he starts feeling good enough to sleep like a baby through the night - it's time to get home!  Last night was one of those nights.  He said he fell asleep around 10 watching tv and woke up at 5:00 with the tv still on and trying to figure out where he was.  I'd say that helped contribute to a not so bad day for him today.  He felt better - looked better. Got himself up to brush his teeth and get around this morning.  He wants me to bring his aftershave tomorrow.  That's a big deal. 

I worked a little longer today - wanting him to get done with his radiation treatment before I showed up.  And he did just fine both with the treatment as well as going with the transport team.  We'll see what tomorrow brings - if I dare do that again. 

Physical therapy worked with him following radiation and they say he's doing great.  The nutritionist came to visit and offered some ideas.  It appears that they did a routine blood test yesterday and it came back with his protein level pretty low.  Turns out - it was one of the new medications that can fowl up that test.  It was redone tonight to hopefully reflect a more true result. 

Tonight we had a surprise visit from "our girls".  I call them our girls because they are like daughters to us.  They along with their beautiful family drove a little distance to see us.  It was great to see them.  Sad to see them go.  We love you guys!!!   We cherish the time we have with all of our friends and family.  We cherish the visits and the prayers that are said for both of us.  May the upcoming days continue to be on the positive side.
