Ed's Progress

One step forward and two steps back seems to be the theme for this week. Ed has really not been doing well this week at all. I'm very concerned about him. The doctor took him off chemo and radiation but he still doesn't seem to be thriving any better. He received three bags of fluids on Monday and five bags on Wednesday but I think that he is still dehydrated and losing weight. He is eating better but it's hard for him as his mouth is sore. Margaret came up for a nice visit on Wednesday and spent the night with us. She brought us a water purifying system which seems to interest Ed in drinking more water and hopefully will help his healing process. Please pray for us as he goes back to the doctor on Monday but I really don't think that they will be putting him back on treatments then. He worked yesterday because his man in charge was off but it was very difficult for him and I plan to insist that he not work today. He did seem to sleep well last night.
I showed Margaret why edit is beside her name only. It's because she can only edit her own posts. On my screen "edit" is beside everyone's posts because I am the administrator. In the beginning I would correct an incorrect spelling in the posts, but Barry said that in doing that, I was changing family history so I no longer edit anyone's posts. Love you all.
