DAY -3

Today is Saturday... Day -3 and counting, also known as chemo day!! And boy was it. The
4 hours of chemo hit him pretty hard. Headache than some nausea. I wish I could tell you that's where it stopped but oh no, he went all out. However, as he got his 3rd dose of ativan to help with the nausea he asked me if I wanted to blog. I told him I could do i later, than he asked if I wanted to use his laptop instead of going to the family room to use that computer.
He told me I could be more descriptive if I blogged from here. I asked if he wanted me to post something for him... his reply is as follows (sorry in advance for those with weak stomaches)

You can put something like....
"as i type away on the blog, I hear the splatter on the floor as Brett is unable to beat back the fountain of vomit." I asked what else he wanted to say and he said I could take it from there.
Does that tell you anything? The guy can't lift his head off the pillow without being sick but he wants me to post that?....hmmmm humor still intack!

Apparently, the way he's responding today is to be expected. Nothing to worry about. If we could get his headache under control I think the nausea would be relieved. But there's only so much they want to try for now. Counts are on the way down so pain meds like motrin are a no no. I ventured down to the deepths of this ancient building to find the smallest cafeteria ever. Of course it was closed at 6:30pm but I was sent on a mission to get him the ol' standby for upset stomaches- Vernors. Thank God for vending machines! Hopefully when he can get some of that down with some crackers he'll be on his way to feeling good again.

We've had communication with Tyler a few times today... and he says all is still going well for him.
I'd better go the ativan is really kicking in. He's now asking the nurse assistant about his tattos.
" so brad, tell us about your tattos." this could get interesting.
