Yesterday was a tough day. We had a quick appointment in the morning and when we got home Byron was exhausted. He slept most of the day, on and off and I could not get him to eat hardly anything. After talking with his Oncologist in the afternoon I understand that if Byron continues to be so weak, we will not be able to start his treatments next week. At her suggestion, I purchased some high calorie Ensure and began encouraging him to drink it. We managed to get two bottles down between 4 pm and 8 pm and I called that success! He also started on some prescription appetite simulators which I hope kick in today. A good thing is that yesterday, he was not in much pain and did not need a pain pill until the middle of the night.
Prayer requests: That Byron's appetite would increase so that he wants to eat, that the pain would stay at bay and that I am able to continue to get him to drink the Ensure on a regular basis.
