It's pretty dismal around here.
On Monday Toby started his eighth cycle of chemo.
On Tuesday he developed shingles.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday he had to receive treatment in the ER.
On Friday night we went back to the ER, just 3 hours after we left, because of a fever.
On Saturday and Sunday, Toby spent the days on the couch.
Diarrhea started on Tuesday, and hasn't let up yet. Vomiting started on Wednesday and continues.
Medicines currently in use: Acyclovir, an anti-viral for the shingles; Neurontin, for nerve pain associated with shingles; Immodium for diarrhea; Vistaril for nausea. None of these pills stay down for very long however, as we've found a nice collection swimming in the barf basins.
Last week Toby was a happy, roundish little boy. Today he is hollow-eyed, exhausted and miserable.

Today where I live we had a squall snowstorm - within minutes everything was covered with snow -- and less than a half hour later, the sun was shining -- We hope this week of squall will soon be replaced by laughter and lightness - we only hope for that for you and Toby (and Stephen and Yoni and the rest of your family)
So sorry that Toby is suffering - and Mooki and Stephen and Yoni - very sorry that the pills won't stay in place - prayers going up for things to all settle down. Bless you.
So sorry to hear Toby not feeling well - i shall say an extra special prayer for him today that he feels loads better and back to himself in no time. God Bless
