Steve is feeling much better today

Sorry it took me so long to get an update out for you. Steve has been pretty good at keeping this updated. He has been under the weather the last few days.

Yesterday they gave him some medicine in the IV while we were there at his tretment for nausea, and that helped alot. He had his weekly blood test and they said his sodium level was at 124. They said that was low and that might have been the cause of it. Today he got another blood test and it is back up to 134 which is good they say. He has gotten his appetite back which I am glad. It is hard to watch someone not wanting to eat.

Last night they said go for some chicken broth and pump up his sodium. I even went out and got him some potato chips and he ate just a few. Those kettle chips, he just loves.

He is resting now and I have to wake him up so he can spend a few hours before it is time for bed.

They asked him at the hospital if he was felling any depression yet and we said not to much yet. They said they could prescribe some anti deprescents for him. We said a trip to see the grandchildren is the best medicine. Now we have to work his feeling good during the day to be a good time to drop in on the gang for at least 30 minutes or so and that should be the pick me up he needs. Heather had stopped in last Saturday night to visit for a few minutes. That was great, but it was at the time Steve started feeling rotten for sure. Micah cuddled with Grandpa and was watching the Ten Commandments on the TV. Caleb, Heather & I were working on this silly puzzle on the kitchen table. It is a picture called "Playtime Bears". It is going to take us awhile since it has alot the same stuff. Steve has half of the table with one called "The Fifties". Heather said it is his and hers puzzles. Good thing I bought a big dining room table on our 25th Anniversary. We will have to get moving to get them done if we are planning a dinner party. I guess we will have to go to the kids house to eat.

Thanks so much for all your prayers and concern for our family, we really do appreciate it. Well I will see some of you tomorrow at AWANA, that is if you visit the Soparkies group.
