Cycle 1 - Day 7
Roberto's energy was up today! No naps for that guy. He went for a walk (down the block again), ate various solid foods including plums and lasagna, and even folded the clean clothes! I've run around the house doing various chores and for some reason I have this huge mental block against folding the clean clothes. I'll happily wash dishes all day while ignoring the two week's worth of clean clothes pile.
Jim stopped by again to hang out for a bit sans his virus-carrying baby (she had live-virus vaccinations last week). Roberto has to be careful of catching any viruses because chemotherapy compromises his immune system. It was nice that Roberto was more awake to enjoy Jim's company. Adam is here again for the week to help out and I have a new partner for playing Borderlands 2. :)
Roberto seems to be recovering quickly from the chemotherapy drugs which is encouraging. Roberto is planning on enjoying the next two weeks before the start of the second cycle. He hit such a low during the week when he was sick. It was hard trying to get through Thursday and Friday. I'm going to try to find some good ginger candy before the next round; it'll have to be hard candy since he did not like the chewy candy the nurses gave him. The brand of the candy is "Ginger People" with this scary looking ginger person on the package. There must be some other candy out there with ginger.
Here's to a good rest of the week!

Wow, he must be feeling good if he even helped with the folding :P
