We are winding down the week. Bobby is scheduled to go back in on Friday for the second round of IL-2. He is starting to get nervous. I don't blame him for not wanting to go through all that again. He is tough...and hopefully I can give him enough TLC to ease the discomforts. I suppose I can provide all the TLC needed but the nurses are the ones with the medications that make things better. The nausea, itching, rigors, and pain-hugs help but just don't cut it!
Bobby is feeling pretty good right now. His skin started peeling off of his hands and the soles of his feet this week. He is starting to get some irritation/soreness in his mouth. He is still very itchy and has very dry skin. That is all part of the IL-2. We expect things will get worse before they get better - considering he gets more IL-2 this week.
We went to the school last night for Julie's induction into the French Honor Society. We are very proud of her. I'd post a picture but she would not let me take any. She looked so pretty and smart. I guess we need to start saving for a class trip to France-or some other French-speaking country! We were careful-and concerned about being in that crowd of people. There were lots of people coughing...we're trying hard to not let anyone get sick at home!
So, we are packing and preparing to go back to Hopkins. Bobby will be more nervous as the week goes on. I will be able to make posts from the hospital to keep everyone up to date. Please feel free to email us or leave a message for Bobby on the guest book via the blog.
