Last night didn't go very well for Mike. He had tried to eat 2 meals and an Ensure shake, but after eating supper, he was on the verge of throwing up all evening, despite taking the Phenagren. He said he had so much pressure, indigestion wise, that he felt totally sick to his stomach. At midnight, he couldn't fight it any longer.

We didn't end up seeing the oncologist today. We misunderstood the schedule. Mike had his second treatment today and we just finished getting his other lung drained. Mike misunderstood the measurement yesterday of what was removed from the left side. It was 1000 cc's of fluid, not 1000 mililiters. Today they removed 1300 cc's off the right side. He struggled at one point during the procedure, which they said was a charley horse of sorts, in his right lung. It scared Mike briefly, but he was able to catch his breath moments later, and the spasm went away.

Mike has been very unsteady on his feet today. He was strongly urged to ride in a wheelchair at both the doctors office, and later at the hospital, when he had to quickly sit down because of dizziness and weakness. He felt pretty drugged following the treatment...I'm assuming, from the Benadryl. He is home and in bed now, so maybe he can get some rest and feel better.

Thank you for continuing to pray for us.
