There have been some health issues going around in this family. Andrew developed the stomach bug that Thomas had last week, and while it's by no means the worst out there, it apparently lasts for a week. It makes me feel better about how Thomas felt. Robert also seemed to have a touch of it yesterday, although I think his was more exhaustion and stress.
We received a phone call early Saturday afternoon. Andrew's brother, who has been mostly confined to a wheel chair since his stroke in November, fell out of his wheel chair, it flipped over on him and he broke his femur. They had to wait to get his sugar under control before they could perform surgery to attach a rod to his femur and hip, and that was done late Saturday night. We just got a call this morning that he has now developed pneumonia. They still don't feel there is a need for Andrew to get there, but it isn't good news.
This round of chemo has really hit Mom very hard. She is still feeling very lousy. The good news is that it is three weeks between each round, but my heart breaks for her.
Neither my mom nor Andrew's brother is at all religious, but any good thoughts and positive vibes are appreciated!
