It's late now and everyone is asleep. Al did get chemo today, but they also pumped him with extra fluids. Thanks to my friends, the girls got rides home. Al had a strange reaction today. He was sweating profusely. The doctor said she doesn't know what is causing that. He was literally soaked when he woke up from a nap this afternoon. He is so miserable and it's really hard seeing him like this. I babble on about stuff to him, but you can just tell that he is totally out of it. I told the doctor that he is still in a lot of pain and that he is taking the hydrocodone every 4 hours now. And this is a double dose of what he was taking. In addition to that, he has been taking a double dose of the long acting pain medicine. She said he can triple that now. We also asked for the hydrocodone in pill form since the liquid stuff burns his throat. He is still drinking 3 shakes a day and taking a handful of pills every morning and evening. It does sometimes take him a good 2 hours to drink a shake. He is really fighting.
