Dad's hand is still swollen, which makes it difficult for him to do simple things like type on his computer. He has been cooking for Mom and taking care of things around the house as Mom navigates her week of infusion. She has been doing pretty good this time. She has taken all the meds the doctor prescribed which cut the nausea and help her sleep. Her appetite is a bit off because of a metallic taste in her mouth, although she is eating much better than last month. This morning she took a banana to work which is good because of the nutrients that help her leg cramps, and the calories to keep her strength up.
This session has been much smoother sailing than last month for Mom and the whole family. And with Dad injured he has been spending more attention on Lou and me. We are happy dogs when the family is happy and people pay attention to us. Mom and Dad are talking about having Mom's friend Kathy visit from Portland over the Labor Day weekend since Mom feels strong enough and she likes the company. Kathy has a dog named Libby, so she should be good to Lou and me too.
