All is well

After feeling pretty lousy over the last couple of days, Kavan has survived the worst and is now on the road to recovery from his cough. He went to work for awhile on Monday but midway through his day decided it was not likely in the best interests of his clients for him to remain at work. At my nagging recommendations, and I mean NAGGING, he stayed home from work today and rested. I think a little relaxation and sleep went a LONG way as he is feeling much better.

He seemed a little dicey yesterday and there were brief moments that I had flashbacks to that horrible night we spent in the Royal Alex ER department. I was hoping that this illness would not earn him a return trip. He is under strict instructions from his oncologist to monitor his temperature each day. If his temperature is above 38 degrees, he is to proceed to the nearest ER for bloodwork and monitoring. Not so much fun especially if you are the person waiting with him. Too much stress!

So, let's all cross our fingers that Kavan continues to recover from his cough. As well, let's all wash our hands super well and cover our mouths when we cough. These days I find myself glaring at those who fail to perform such simple tasks.

Have a good week!

  2. Hi Darling,
    I'm so pleased that you are over your cold and your usual cheerful, teasing self again! It's difficult to believe that you are a quarter of the way through your treatment, and before you know it, Christmas will be here and then you'll be halfway! Time does fly, and soon summer will roll around again and you'll be finished! Then it's a thick, glossy head of hair and happy travels!! I so admire your upbeat, positive outlook and wonderful sense of humour! Always know that you are deeply loved by all your family and many close friends. A circle of prayer and love surrounds you.... Love you sweetheart! Mom
