Hi, Marcia here with an after Christmas update on the Olsons.
Christmas dinner was at their house yesterday (remarkable, I know!). Their house looked wonderful and Anne prepared a lovely meal complete with delightful party favors.
On the health front, things are not as positive. This latest round of chemo has just been the pits. Gary feels really lousy most of the time and the tube feeding (which is supposed to make up for the calories he’s not getting from the little he can eat) is making him feel even worse. Continuing with the tube feeding may not be an option. Understandably, they are both discouraged. Anne will call Dr. Ey tomorrow with the hopes that they can all put their heads together and figure out a way to make this easier.
Gee, we’re so sorry that this round of chemo is worse than before. Understandable, but too bad anyway! All of your fans will be anxious to hear Monday’s news and hope there is an option out there for getting calories without feeling so awful. But it’s good to know Anne was able to get into the spirit of the season with decorations and a feast. We’re still counting down the chemo weeks with you!
Hi Gary ,
It is no fun telling jokes at the pool with out you to groan at them, so I have not told one in 2 weeks. Get well soon!
Seriously it is good to see your progress and we are all reading about you on your blog!
