It's a "not so good" day for Mike today. It's hard for me to see him so uncomfortable. He's having trouble breathing. He's felt a little nauseated, and his left arm, both ankles and abdomen are very swollen. I don't know if being off the Coumadin for a week, is responsible for this swelling...especially in the arm where the subclavian vein and artery is blocked. That might explain things, but it's necessary for him to be off the Coumadin when he's having these other radiology procedures done.

When I came home at lunch, Mike seemed out of it. I had a difficult time waking him up, and when I did, he just looked like he was staring right through me. It was hard to leave him at lunch to go back to work. The anxiety of not knowing what is going on with him, gets to me. So I asked Amber to drive over to check on him.

He did better this evening, but at 7, decided to head on to bed. Earlier today I had him call the oncology nurse and explain what he's experiencing. There was talk of tweaking his medications, and possibly draining his abdomen next week.

It's alarming me how fragile things seem to be right now for Mike. I appreciate your continued prayers. On Saturday, we will be celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary.
