This round of chemo was a truly a tough road for Ric.  Friday and Saturday were okay (some nausea and vomiting, and headaches...of course)  Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and today were very hard.  Ric was unable to keep food down, liquids were encouraged.  He spent the majority of the days in bed.  He had headaches, body aches, vomiting, and nausea.  It was not good...today however, I think he was the worst of all the days...not drinking much, and not eating.  I was starting to get worried, so I got some anti-nausea meds for him...starting them, didn't think they were working.  Tonight...it appears they are starting to work.  He was able to keep some food down, and some liquid.  I am hoping that this will stay down.  It has now been a couple hours into some food in the tummy...and all is looking better.  Lets hope for a road to healing. 

We are planning our road trip to Regina...depending on how Ric is feeling.  We have delayed the trip by a day, we will see what tomorrow brings...as long as we are together, and all is well...really what are the holidays about...family.  Hope everyone enjoys there holiday with there loved ones.

Ric, Tracy, and the little ones... Thinking of you here and wishing you a lot of strength. I really feel for you Ric, and hope that things quiet down in a hurry and that you start feeling better. Struggling for something more meaningful to tell you from this far way. Jeff
