Admission: Two.
Hello all! I know it's been awhile since we checked in, so I wanted to say hi and give everyone an update. Scott is hanging in there, but as the title implies, he's been sick. He caught a cold back on the 11th and is still fighting it. I caught his cold several days after him, and as it goes with me, It promptly moved into Bronchitis. I was able to get better after several days, but Scott isn't so lucky. With the chemo, he doesn't have the immune system to fight a cold like the rest of us do. So here it is, day 11, and he's still coughing all the time. I feel horrible for him - it hurts so much to keep coughing like that. He's going to see Dr. Fernandez in the morning, but will be postponing next week's inpatient treatment for a week. He's barely gotten more than a few hours of sleep at a time since getting sick and he really needs to get better before more chemo. I'm really hoping Dr. F can give him something much stronger to help him fight it. He says he's taken Tylenol with Codeine cough syrup once before and it knocked him out so much that his then roommates all had to pick him up and carry him into his room - God help me if that happens again!
Please say a prayer and keep your fingers crossed for him that he feels better soon.
One of us will update again after tomorrow's doctor appointment.
As always - love and appreciation to you all!

Hey Scott & Amy--so sorry to hear about the house of germs!! Scott you must be exhausted. We're hoping they give you something good (without making Amy carry you to bed, lol) so you can rest up and feel better soon. Wishing you good health!
