Journal entry by Jennifer Pasmore —
Hey everyone,
It's been a tough weekend so far. Brad had a pretty rough day today and most of the time stays in the bed or on the floor in the bathroom. He did get sick 1 time today which is so hard on him considering his throat is all tore up from the radiation. He is simply exhausted and has no motivation to speak or move. I think because he is afraid it will make him sick. That and he is utterly exhausted. I check on him frequently and Dad (Ron) has been helping me keep an eye on him so I can set up my classroom to go back to school. I gave him 1/2 a bag of fluids today with some anti nausea but it didn't seem to help much. I take that back, I guess it did because he didn't throw up any more. Overall he is still recovering from the chemo last Tuesday. Soon he should start to go uphill. Only time will tell. I will update you soon!
