Hungry Hungry Hippo!!

Well Robert is finally getting his appetite back and is able to keep it all down. Last week was probably the worst he has been since all this started last year. Robert was not able to eat or drink anything and was nauseated all the time. He goes to radiation everyday and then they would give him nausea meds and fluids thru his medi port. We were having to go to the pharmacy everyday to get a new prescription filled to try a new nausea medicine. Also Robert got thrush and that has been bad for him. But today has been the best day he has had in over a week.

Mother and Benny came up today, they brought their travel trailer and will be staying a while before Mother's next surgery. They are going to help me with tamales and help me with Robert. It will be nice having some company. Mother is still recovering from her surgery, so she needs to take it easy too. This is the best place in the world to sit back and take it easy. It is so beautiful every where you look. You can go to the lake and see the mountains, or you can go to the river and watch for eagles. It doesn't get much better than that. Don't believe me, come on up, we would be more than happy to show ya. Plus I hear mother and Benny brought lots of shrimp from Port Aransas.

This is good news and kytril for sure was the magic for me. They had me on tubes to remove bile from my stomach. A nurse suggested kytril for me and I stopped throwing up. Even though I don’t know Robert, I had an enormous amount of respect, he is a strong person even when he doesn’t feeling like being strong! Judy you need to encourage him to tell his story after he gets through this to other people. He will have the ability to touch many people’s lives. God has given him a strong woman like you to be there! Together as a couple people are going to draw from both of your strength! I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
