Wednesday evening and time to write again for the evening. Got a note from both Lisa and Dr. Lewis on the party yesterday. As reported last night, Chris seemed to enjoy himself and was welcomed and attended to by most everyone there. All day today he talked again about how so many people came to talk to him and that he enjoyed seeing everyone. Thank you to all of you who made the day so very special for him. I pray that he keeps that memory of happiness and love in a special place in his heart.
Chris seems to be tolerating the chemo and radiation pretty well. No more nausea complaints and no more vomiting. We haven't seen any signs of burns on his skin yet either. He fatigues pretty quickly and sleeps on the way home from radiation but after a little nap this afternoon was awake for the rest of the evening.
Thank you to the Taylors for bringing dinner tonight and for staying with us to eat it! That was a treat, especially since Brian was here too. Dinner was delicious and the snowflake cookie from Sarah is beautiful. Thanks to Melissa for bringing by some yummy Christmas baking as well. Unfortunately, I missed my sweet Diane who stopped by with a ham and the ever present offer to help anyway she can, but Norma did get a chance to talk with her for a bit. We just love all of our wonderful friends.
By the way, thank you to whoever it was that sent the Christmas basket of crackers, cookies, toffee, popcorn and other goodies. It is a very nice basket and we appreciate the kindness and thoughtfulness of whoever it was that sent it.
Finally, tonight I want to thank Mike, Wendy, Michael and Jeana for the darling floral arrangement you sent for my birthday. It was very sweet of you.
Let's hope and prayer that the treatment is starting to work and the longer episodes of alertness are just the beginning of Chris coming back to us.
With much love, CJSRJ
