Steve is Bored!!!

I am so happy that Steve is bored. This tells me he is getting stronger. He is tired, has a persistant cough, and is achy all over, but he is better than his low point a few weeks ago.

The doctors are elusive in their comments (because of no precise diagnosis), but my best guess from their best guesses is that he will be in the hospital for 2 to 5 more days, then he will go to a rehab center for an indefinite time until he is strong enough to do basic daily tasks.

The next MRI will be 4 weeks from Chemo. This type of Chemo's effect peaks at 2 weeks after administration and by 4 weeks the MRI results should show changes. The decision will then be made whether to repeat the Chemo at that time.

  1. I'm glad Steve is feeling a little better. I hope the rehab center is closer to home. Remembered you in our prayers at Book Club last night and gave everyone Steve's blogspot. Everyone sends their love and hope for a great recovery. Leslie was there last night and was fun to hear about her mission. She requested that Beverly Hamberlin join our group and everyone agreed. Love, Michelle

  2. Each day is progress. Where is the rehab place. Do you think Steve feels like visitors? Doug & I would like to, but only if Steve would like that.
