They have paged him twice since 1:00 and he hasn't called the room yet. So I cant leave. My daughter said she'd go feed the dogs and stay with them awhile and then bring up Ken's kool aid, the only thing he will drink. So that helped a lot. The nurse read me the drs notes and he said to push fluids hard, keep up the anti nausea meds and decide whether to stop chemo due to such a weakened state even though ct scan showed stable. So I think Once I get all the info from the doctor we will stop chemo and leave it in God's hands. I am praying he can remain stable for awhile and get back some quality of life. He has been sleeping all day today but still not eating. If we could only get him wanting to eat he may have a fighting chance. Everyone here seems to not want to put in a feeding tube. I want the oncologist to tell me why not. Thanks again I just couldn't get through this with out all your help and support. The many kind offers of help and phone numbers to call if needed mean the world to me.
