Journal entry by Margy Sheppard —
Hi all! Bryon has begun to reach out for help as he is feeling really rough due to his radiation treatment. His throat is very raw and he can no longer drink or eat except from his feeling tube. He is also having a lot of trouble talking. It gets him gagging and will make him vomit. He is very tired and just needs a little help with day to day tasks. He needs: rides to treatment, errands run for things like bottled water, etc. He needs laundry done every 2-3 days, and his bed sheets changed as well. He also needs all of his syringes washes out daily. His bathroom needs to be cleaned weekly as well as sweeping, mopping, dusting etc. Feel free to bring him your extra plastic grocery bags, he uses these for spitting. 😥 If you notice that his pool needs skimming, that would be helpful as well, especially after a big rain. Thank you all for the help and support. If you have any questions, feel free to text Bryon or Margy Sheppard @ 919-257-9007.
