A bit of a rough start to the day. Scott was feeling chemo weary, so he spent his final day of this round of chemo napping. I'm still not certain he wasn't pretending to sleep so I wouldn't beat him again at Cribbage. The nausea has also kicked in full force but with a concoction of pretty much everything we have on hand, the nausea is somewhat managed. Not perfect, but at least he's able to hold some food and water down.

Also, Scott had another echo done today and we were pleased to find out that the pressure on the heart has not gotten worse. We are hoping that the chemo will help shrink the tumor a bit and that we'll begin to see improvement in the pressure on the heart. We will see the cardiologist again in a few weeks.

Many people have asked us how Maz is doing with all this. Luckily we have some very nice neighbors and friends picking up the slack for us. He's so accustomed to playing at all their houses that he doesn't really think it's that unusual. I told him to ask me any questions he would like but he doesn't have many. He seems to be absorbed by his usual activities and that pleases us immensely. Even if it does mean that Scott gets an 8-year-old beat down after a day of chemo.
