Doug’s mouth sores
[singlepic=18,500,400]
Doug has been having a horrible couple of days. He has had multiple vomiting attacks which cause unbearable pain. He has a tremendous amount of thick funk that is in the back of his throat and when he tries to expel it, he gets uncontrolled gagging that leads to the vomiting. Today he was in such pain that I ended up giving him some medication to help him sleep it off. The pain was so bad that he told me he did not think he could make it through the day. He is so strong, but the pain is so severe when he vomits that it is threatening to break him. Please pray for him to gain that inner strength to get through this bump. I know time will heal him and better days are ahead, he just cannot see that right now.
He is being hydrated today with his second IV bag, he only had two cans of food today, which he lost getting sick. So I have focused on hydrating him and helping him sleep off the pain and hope for a better day tomorrow. The burns on his neck from the radiation are quite severe, but with the cream we have been given, I hope this will help. Radiation causes severe burns and the skin it is very hot to touch, like a horrible sunburn that bubbles up and crusts over.
Here is Moose’s Website with the pictures from Doug’s last treatment.
Doug – Hang in there, you are so close. You have handled this tremendously and have been an inspiration to us, don’t get down now. You are definitely in our prayers.
Hey Doug!
You’ve got a lot of people you love you, and I’m one of them! Praying for you and Laurie and Zoe. Asking for strength and endurance – you’re almost there! I’m a fan Doug – if you had a jersey that said FARMER on the back – I’d wear it.
