Above 98.6

Fever and fatigue

My days are punctuated by the beepings of the thermometer.

To keep the fevers at bay, we rotate between Percocet, Motrin and Tylenol at timed intervals. I am also making more stops at the laundromat. Every night, Rusty goes through at least four T-shirts because of his night sweats. On the sleeper couch, towels are set on his side to prevent drenching the microfibre. We haven’t slept in the bedroom for weeks. This Thursday, we go in for our final infusion. Then, we wait for scans.

    Hi

    I’ve been reading through your entire site on and off for a few weeks now. Found you through a link on Helendamnation’s blog. I just wanted to say that judging by what is written here, I think you two display an amazing amount of courage and strength. Bless you both.

    I just discovered your site, and to agree with Shan - such incredible courage and honesty. It is an inspiration that even when you feel you are weak - you remain strong and with hope.

    My thoughts/prayers are with BOTH of you… *HUGE bear hug*
