Fatigue du Jour

Cheryl is getting hammered much harder by the chemo then expected. She's been in bed (or the couch) for the last three days. We've been pushing fluids, but Cheryl was a camel in a former life, so it's been a challenge. Thanks to the matriarch of the West Coast Bolstad's, Cheryl had a better day today. Mom B. made sure that Cheryl had some food in her mouth most of the day, and was either drinking water, sucking a popsicle, sipping tea, or eating jello (all, by the way, count as liquid). The extra liquid and calories seemed to have helped with the fatigue.

As a favor, please keep the phone calls to a minimum. Do not call everyday, she barely has the strength to decide between HGTV and Food Network, let alone talk with loving family and friends. If you do call, try and share the information with a group. She will do her best to get in touch with everyone as her strength improves.

Thanks for caring, we'll post more as things change.
