Quick Update. He got started with chemo yesterday. Had some nausea during the night. He is getting his 2nd treatment now. He was up 2 pounds this morning, so that is good. He told the nurse he worked hard at that yesterday. Eating alot is hard for him.....but he is trying hard to do what he needs to do. We added some Ensure to help him with his calories. Part of fighting this beast is eating and keeping his strength up. I am going back and forth right now from the waiting area with the kids to the back to check on Dave. I 'll post more later.

Sounds like a long day...but we're glad Dave is taking the weight thing seriously....my Mom tried Ensure too, but prefers soups and pop tarts right now : )
We ate bacon and eggs and coffee, she had lemonade and a pop tart : )

Thank you for the update Lisa! I am so glad Dave did well eating yesterday. I pray that God gives him an appetite like never before, and he will eat!! Gosh if I could just give him some of my desire to eat :) Love you so much!

Being an expert in the weight gaining area :), what about eating a meal before sleeping? Just a thought. Many prayers for all of you. We are praying from Macon to Atlanta!
