Merry Christmas. John was sounding good this morning when I talked to him before I left the house. When I got there he was extremely tired. He was hoping he could take a shower today but the docs want to give his skin a few days to settle down. It is very ugly; there are a few pictures of it below...you get to see what he is dealing with. We still don't know yet if it is from the chemo or it is graft vs host of the skin. He is on a number of different creams to treat it and they have put him on prednisone (steroids) 80mg to help with treating it. I was able to get him cleaned up and we cut his hair because it is starting to fall out and is itchy. That took about 30 mins and he was incredibly tired.
He was able to read the article in the paper today and he said what a good job Bob did on it. He did go into a fib last night but was able to get out of it quickly. He has to go 48 hrs without any episodes of a-fib before they will take him back on the oncology floor. We will be unwrapping presents on Saturday morning at the clinic because my brother wants to be there for it. So we will have more pictures up on Saturday. Hope you all enjoy your Christmas with your families.
