Larry continues to improve! He started the chemo yesterday and I think that did more for him mentally than anything so far. He had a very deep, restful sleep for a little over 2 hours yesterday afternoon and we are very thankful for that. I think this was probably the best he's slept in about 4 months. He is more alert than he's been and has even been making some jokes.
We don't know yet how the chemo will affect him. The doctor tells us that 5% of people have no side effects, 5% have every side effect and everyone else falls somewhere in between. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm just praying that it doesn't make him very sick because it is so painful for him when he throws up.
We are still hopeful that he will be able to come home by Tuesday. It would be nice for him to be home before Easter, plus the boys will have some time out of school and I know he would like to spend that time with them.
Thank you again for the cards, phone calls and especially your prayers.

Praise the Lord! I'm so glad to hear that they were able to start the chemo and that they are also able to help manage Larry's pain with oral meds!
I know you all will be happy to have him home as soon as possible! We'll continue to pray that things go well and that the side effects of the chemo will be minimal!
Please let us know if there is anything at all we can do!
Love you all so much!
