FAMILY

Yesterday was actually a blur. After six nights of sleeping here in the room with Dave, sleep deprivation definitely showed. I am now spending nights at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) house, and days here at the hospital. Today I feel much more rested and able to keep it altogether, so to speak.

Dave got through the bronchoscopy smoothly, but then developed atrial fibrillation (irregular heart beat) after the procedure. His rate was not alarming and his vital signs remained stable. He is still in afib but stable. As I write, he is just returning from a chest x-ray. We do not have the results of the bronchoscopy yet, but should shortly. The plan stands the same for chemo tomorrow. It's important that gets started; hopefully, it will help with his shortness of breath.

Rachel, Bob, Jourdan and Grif arrived yesterday, which brought lots of smiles all around. They will be leaving today but, hopefully, will be back next weekend. Although company makes Dave worn out, it also perks him up.

Again, thank you everyone for your prayers, positive thoughts, and comments.
