Back home

After a full day of waiting to be discharged from the hospital, Josh (and my mom) finally got to go home Tuesday evening. Yesterday he had a round of a new chemo. They are Oxaliplatin and 5FU. The Oxaliplatin is given in the Dr.’s office through the IV and the 5FU is set up in the office and administered for 24hours via a portable pump in a pack worn around his neck. Josh has to avoid cold things for about 48hrs after treatment because of the oxaliplatin. He may still lose his hair due to the 5FU, so we’ll keep watch of that.

Right now he is concentrating on eating. We need to get some weight back on him, so he is on a seefood diet…he needs to eat whatever he sees!

Today is Josh and Gretchen’s 4th wedding anniversary! Congratulations!
