Things have been like a roller coaster around here.  Ric takes two steps forward and one step back again.  I wish I had some good news to share with you all...The nausea and vomiting continued a few days past Christmas Day.  With the nausea and vomiting Ric was also sleeping a ton.  I talked to the oncologist, she told me to take Ric to the family doctor...the family doctor figures Ric picked up a "Bug".  She told Ric to get plenty of rest.   He started to feel better, with the exceptions of his headaches...which are a regular occurence these days.  Today however, Ric could not manage to get out of bed, and was vomiting again today.   This is particularly frustrating as he should be getting stronger, for his next round of chemo.  I am pushing the fluids, and managed to get a couple crackers and some popcorn into his body.  Thankfully it is Sunday...and Ric is watching some football. 

On the 8th Ric goes for his MRI...then the doctors visit on the 11th.  The oncologist is going to lower the chemo dosage, as she feels Ric is particularly sensitive to it...apparently this chemo is highly tolerable.  Lets hope for the best... for some strength for Ric to get through this bumpy patch.
