. . . to nuts!!\u00a0 Dougie has been steadily improving every day, so he decided to try some Walnuts yesterday and for whatever reason, the third nut went down and caused an immediate severe pain in his head!\u00a0 Before yesterday, he had not taken any percocet (pain med) in several days.\u00a0 So he learned. . . no nuts!!<\/p>\n
The mass in his mouth was palpable on his neck, and now, on day 13 from the day of chemo, you cannot really feel it anymore.\u00a0 His tongue was lifting up on the left side when he opened his mouth, and you could see the tumor at the back of his throat two weeks ago.\u00a0 That is also much improved, you can only see it if you go digging way back in there with a flashlight and a tongue depressor!!\u00a0 The tumor is shrinking!!\u00a0 Whoo Hoo!!<\/p>\n
His only issue now is some fatigue which goes along with cancer and chemotherapy, and is completely manageable!\u00a0 We are very thankful!\u00a0 I also have to give a shout out to my buddies Bill, Val, Maddie and Cody.\u00a0 They came over after church yesterday and helped us get our tree out of the house and they stayed to help me take down the Christmas decorations, and vacuum up the tons of pine needles left on the floor.\u00a0\u00a0 Thank you guys for helping us out!!!\u00a0 Ya’ll ROCK!! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
