Ken could use some more prayers - Page 7 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Thanks. We are sitting here at the Cancer Center for Ken's 2nd treatment. It's been crazy busy here today. The music therapist stopped in and talked with us for awhile and just started to play her guitar but then the nutritionist came in so she left. Ken is a music lover and plays guitar since he was 14. She is coming back next Thursday and Ken is bringing one of his guitars and they are going to play. He loves Irish music ans she spent a year in Ireland learning music. So she is going to teach Ken some songs. She really was so nice and we enjoyed her visit. Then the pharmacy nurse came in and the oncologist nurse. Ken is sleeping now so I took the IPad to come on YT. They want him to eat more and they were thinking of giving him a transfusion tomorrow but we are getting 6-9 inches of snow tonight and we will not be able to get out possibly. So we have to come back Monday for blood work and a possible transfusion. The transfusion takes 6 hours! Ken is doing a little better on the pain medication so hopefully this treatment won't set him way back. As always thanks for caring!

I'm so happy for Ken and you that he can share his love of music, Irish and guitar, with the music therapist.

Sending prayers that the treatment today is not too hard on him and that the pain medication helps him. Praying for his rest and comfort, and for him to be able to eat.

6 hours for the transfusion -- wow, that is a long time! I pray he does well and won't need it.
