Another day ...

Alex rallied as yesterday went on.  He ate a bit and got some liquids in.  We watched an installment of Poirot together (Jacki Chan, it ain't) and then he went to bed.

He was pretty good this morning and ate reasonably well.

And then we went to the hospital.  The goalie made it through the warm-up this time (parking lot) but unfortunately got quite sick in the treatment room.  Handles it like a champ though.  Quick shot of Ara-C and we were back in the car.  Horrible traffic today - for no apparent reason.

Alex went straight to bed when we got home and was asleep in about three minutes.  Still is.  I did some email and then some scheming with Nurse S about tweaking the anti-nausea drugs.

We are trying another drug called Nabilone which is a cannabinoid.  Yes that means what you think it means.  Keeping this one hidden from friends and neighbours

The fact is though that chemo makes you throw up.  It's a drag but it is what it is. 

Speaking of goalies, congratulations are in order to cousin Wil who stopped two out of three shots for the win in a shoot-out last night at an intra-squad Red Deer Rebels game. Well done.

Thanks for the emails.
