HI ALL...WELL, IT'S OUR LAST DAY--HOPEFULLY--FOR THE RADIATION TREATMENTS ANYWAY. SUNDAY JIM WAS AT HIS WORST AND REFUSED TO TAKE ANY EXTRA LIQUIDS, REFUSED TO EAT HIS NORMAL (FOR THE PAST WEEK) AMOUNTS OF FOOD, REFUSED TO STICK TO THE SCHEDULE, ECT. GOT SO DEHYDRATED THAT AT THE END OF HIS IV TREATMENT YESTERDAY, HIS BLOOD PRESSURE PLUMMETED EVEN FURTHER AND HE BEGAN TO GO INTO SHOCK, STARTED BABBLING INCOHERENTLY, ETC...NOT A PRETTY SIGHT. THEY HAD TO GIVE HIM A SHOT AND REINSERT HIS IV AND ADD ANOTHER BAG OF SALINE, PLUS GIVE HIM OXYGEN. HE WAS FINE AN HOUR LATER AND WAS ABLE TO GO FOR THE RADIATION AND WAS FINE STILL WHEN WE GOT UP THIS AM.

HE DECIDED THAT SINCE HE TOOK HIS FIRST REAL WALK ON SATURDAY, HE COULD DO AS HE DAMN WELL PLEASED ON SUNDAY, WAS NASTY AS HELL TO ME AND NOTHING I SAID OR DID--EVEN TELLING HIM HE COULD DIE!--MADE A DENT! SO, HE NEARLY DID DIE! I DOUBT IF HE IS GOING TO BE ANY DIFFERENT DURING RECOVERY AS HE HAS ALWAYS STOPPED MEDICATION OR THEARAPY BEFORE IT WAS REALLY WISE (IN HIS CASE) TO DO SO. HE'S TOO STUBBORN TO LISTEN TO ME.

OH WELL...KEEP THOSE PRAYERS COMING AS THE CRUCIAL TIME IS THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. HE HAS TO GET BACK TO EATING HIS (NOT OURS) NORMAL AMOUNT OF FOOD, LOTS OF FRUITS, DRINK HIS 2 NUTRIENT DRINKS A DAY AND HOPEFULLY GET BACK TO EATING HIS ICE CREAM EVERY NIGHT. HE WILL HAVE TO START HIS DAILY WALKS EVEN IF IT MEANS INSIDE THE MALL (IF THE WEATHER'S NASTY!) HIS POOR/NASTY ATTITUDE SCARES ME!
