Saturday, June 2nd – Day 12, 2:50pm

Posted by Joe:
I just spoke to Mike & Mom. Mike sounded very good to me. You may notice Ann & I have a slightly different style of posting, here’s the lowdown (in no particular order):

  1. Mom & our friend Sue Peake are visiting today.
  2. They took him off the Morphine drip, now he’s using the pill form as they ween him off the drug. He wouldn’t save me any…
  3. They are trying to get the Mucositis (sores in his mouth and throat) cleared up. According to Wikipedia, Mucositis occurs in 40% of chemo patients.  Mucositis Info on Wikipedia 
  4. His new rounds doctor came in today, Dr Oleg.
  5. The results from Friday’s CAT scan of his mouth and throat were good.
  6. He’s had LOTS of tests today, he’s participating in two cancer studies.
  7. His nurses are still real fine… …oh I mean treating him very well.
  8. Still not able to eat much. (see Item #2) He had a Vanilla flavored Boost® Energy Drink and orange style gelatin substance for lunch today.

As I said, Mike sounded good. He is very appreciative of all the notes, cards, prayers, etc from everyone.  Thank You all for following and supporting Mike.
