Week 3 is now complete.  I am very proud of Ric...he is doing very well.  He is still continuing to exercise everyday, however, he does tire more easily.  Ric did have a few headaches today.. which he took Tylenol for.  He is now taking a new medication (decadron, or dexamethasone) for the swelling, and this will relieve some of his headaches.  He did take this medication in the hospital and after his surgery.  It is also used to prevent seizures.  We just noticed today that Ric has just started to lose some hair around the site that they are doing the radiation.  Not sure if he will lose all, only time will tell.  Ric had a fairly good appetite today.  I made him his favourite soup...and he did enjoy that.  Anyone care to venture a guess what Ric's favourite soup may be?  As it is the long weekend...Ric is off treatment on Monday next week, will resume on Tuesday.
