A Long Days Drive

Tom was up and at 'em on Tuesday heading to Detroit by 6:00 am:

Tom is back on the Chemo drug. The labs show that his potassium, magnesium, and calcium levels are still low. They have put him on yet more drugs to bring these levels up. Tom talked with his primary doctor and asked to be put back on the drug Maxide (that they had also taken him off ) as the side of surgery returned quickly after he stopped using this drug. Tom has struggled for the past couple mornings as his face blew up like a balloon so bad that he could barely see when he gets up. I've noticed he is struggling with his breathing also as he sleeps. We still do not have the results of his Calcitonin level.

Tom is adjusting very well to his role of Mr. Mom. I must say I enjoy coming home to dinner on the table and relaxing as he cleans the kitchen. The dogs are having a hard time getting used to Tom being home at night. They've lost their spots on the bed. This past week the Sleep Lab threw Tom a little luncheon. He truly works with a group of caring and generous people. Tom was blown away when the physician he has worked for the past several years got up and thanked Tom & complimented him on his quality patient care.

Luke 12:25-26 "And besides, what's the use of worrying? What good does it do? Will it add a single day to your life? Of course not! And if worry can't even do such little thing as that, what's the use of worrying over bigger things?"
