There was a time when Van wondered if he would ever like food again but today food is beginning to have an appeal. Van ate a large cheeseburger and fries all by himself today and kept it down! He’s also receiving half of a dose of TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrician) with all the vitamins, protein, etc. going in through his I.V. (It looks like a milkshake). I can tell he is getting stronger and feeling better because he is starting to tease the nurses. Our motto is “One day at a time”. We’ll see what new adventure tomorrow brings.
Tip: I just learned how you can see the blog at full screen or a lot larger. Firefox users: if you have a mouse with a scroll button, hold down the control key and scroll your mouse button and your screen will go larger. Internet Explorer users: On the bottom right of your screen there is an arrow that you can increase the font/screen size.
I am so glad to hear that he is eating again, for the time being. I hope it stays that way and keeps getting better!! One day at a time, that is all you can do, I hope tomorrow is a good day!!
ReplyDeleteGreat news, keep those cheeseburgers and fries coming!! I remember those are the "only" things I wanted to eat during chemo so I identify totally. Hang in there, you are both awesome. Praying for you every day.

Here's another: "Inch by inch, it's a cinch!"
ReplyDeleteOkay...that probably doesn't apply here, but on the other hand, every day is a step forward, a step closer to full recovery and being home and living a fabulously "normal" life!
Congrats on the cheeseburger: this is DEFINITELY one time in your life that you do NOT have to worry about the calories you're consuming--so eat up, you lucky =) guy!!!
Hugs and prayers,
Libby
Becca eats all of her meals "milkshake" style, too! ;) I'm so glad there's a way to get all that good stuff into him!
