Day 35

Hi Everyone,

It's the end of another day and almost the weekend. Charlie is doing good today. He is taking chemo like a champ. He hasn't been very sick and is happy that his body is tolerating it well. Tomorrow Charlie will have another spinal tap done. He will have one done every Friday until he leaves the hospital. The spinal tap is where the chemo is injected in his spine to prevent the cancer spreding to the brain and spine. He has been pumped with a heavy load of chemo these past days and will get a break shortly. Even when he is not gettimg the chemo through his IV, he still has to take the chemo pill. Charlie is still so positive and is keeping a great attitude. Right now the only thing he wants is rest. These past few nights have been rough and restless with constant interruptions. Hopefully he will be able to rest tonight. During this round of chemo the doctors advised Charlie to take more than one shower a day. The chemo will be exiting his pores this time and is good to get if off the body. Charlie has a hearty appetite and enjoyed some Mac Grill take out tonight for dinner. It definitely made him feel better and is much better than the hospital food. Please pray for Charlie tonight that he will get some rest and that his spinal tap goes well tomorrow. We love you all and you guys truly keep us going with all your prayers and thoughts. Have a great Friday everyone! Until tomorrow, good night.
