It is almost 11:00am and it is chilly in this little house! I'm turning up the heat I think!
Craig seemed to sleep well last night with very little discomfort. I know he got up around midnight to eat some applesauce- hydrate and take his meds. But right now he is sleeping away- all nice and cozy under the covers- probably warm as well- think he would wake up if I put my frozen feet on his? lol
Yesterday was his 2nd go round with radiation- it actually doesn't take much time, I was surprised. But we did see the docs afterwards which took the time. But they are all so very kind and understanding about everything! They truly stress the importance of communication so if there is any discomfort of any kind they can address it immediatley- even on my end! There are also 2 exercise classes per week- (at the Y)- if Craig feels up to it I think I might start taking him there to take advantage of that-
Now Craig is taking 5 medication for nausea- but they seem to be working for the moment- all I can say is thank you G-D!!!! I felt so bad for him- and there is really nothing I can do except be supportive- but sometimes I feel that isn't enough and I so wish to do more. I even felt a little guilty the other night when he was having so much trouble- I would go in and out of dozes- but he couldn't even do that he felt so bad.
Tomorrow after his treatment I head back up the hill to see our children- I miss them so MUCH!! I miss our home too- the nice peaceful beauty of it. Craig wants me to take lots of pictures so I can put pics of home all over this little new home- city life is so different that country life! It takes forever to go anywhere and forever to get anything done! So much noise, so many lights- and people seem to be so wrapped up in getting from point A to point Z that they don't stop to breathe- 
So that is what is going on around here- Craig is sleeping- I'm freezing- and the city noise is invading our lives. But Craig is getting treatment- the staff at St.Als to amazing- and we have so many friends and family praying for us that I know we will make it thru this time.
Now to go warm up my feet.....
