Here we are at day six of Braxton's stay for chemo. The day started off like any other day. Braxton and I slept until almost 10am. The doctors came in and spoke with us and checked out Braxton. We then watched The Price is Right and started doing homework at 11am. Everything was going well until Brax got up and went to the bathroom. When he came out he was feeling dizzy and light-headed. I got him to his bed and he laid down. Now for the excitement. Braxton started to feel sick to his stomach. You can all guess what happened next. Brax vomited! Yes, the sequel to blowing chunks reared its ugly head. After finishing he said that he felt ok. I think it was just getting out of bed and moving around that made him feel sick. He is taking a nap now. I went to the Big 10 for lunch and brought back some cheese curds for my little buddy. I hope they sit well.
We had a minor scare last night as Braxton's temp started to climb again. It got to 100.3 at about 9pm but has been fine ever since. Maybe just the excitement of the Twins clobbering the Red Sox 7-3 made that temp rise.
Once again, thank you all for your continued thoughts and prayers. We are truly blessed to have such caring family and friends.
Take Care and God Bless,
Big Bad Brad the Dad
