Nick continues to battle with stomach issues. It's really making it difficult for him to sleep. Doc says we need to "get it under control" before the WBC bottoms out, but the meds they are giving him only seem to help slightly. I just pray he has a decent night's rest tonight. Staff believes the stomach issues are from the continued meds, but they've cut dairy products just in case. Nick is still in good spirits, despite the discomfort/pain. I'm amazed that he simply pushes forward in his usual positive attitude. He's still doing three times the amount of expected walking "laps" each day and although he's having to force it sometimes, he's still eating/drinking as directed. Overall, he is taking it one day at a time and pushing through with that same sweet smile.
We must thank you all again for your words of inspiration - via email and snail mail. Each message is precious to us. I've started "decorating" Nick's room with your messages to remind him that you're with him in the "fight". This will be even more important for the difficult days ahead. Thank you for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers.
