Update

Hi everyone, Shannon here. Just talked to Sonya and she asked me to post an update because she is busy driving. " To where?" you might ask. Pop came out of treatment and announced he wanted to go to Red Lobster to eat. He saw the radiation doctor today and his assistant. Good news is he still got the injections because the doctor prescribed him a stronger medication for the nausea. This one is sublingual, and apparently works well because he is headed to Red Lobster. May sound like we are spoiling him but as long as he continues to eat well, that is all that matters. A gentleman named Jim, who is a dear friend, told me from the beginning that this would be an emotional roller coaster. Wow, was he right. I told Sonya to tell him that with each treatment, injection, and sick feeling he gets, to try to think to himself that is one more football game, or volleyball game, or high school graduation, or college graduation, or maybe even wedding that he will get to attend. So for now I am back at the top of this roller coaster not looking down. Sonya I am glad you didn't have to face the doctor today, and that he made the decision that we think he should have. I wouldn't want you to cry again. LOL
Thank you for letting me unload. This blog has been very helpful for me. Thanks for listening. Let you know more later, and hopefully Nevada will be able to look up in the stands tomorrow night and see his Pop there cheering for him.. Gotta go feed the football players now. Thanks Mr. Stidham for making it possible. :=)
