Jeff and I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  We were able to spend it with Jeff's family, even his brother, sister-in-law, nieces, daughter, son-in-law and grandson were up from TX so that made it even more memorable!!!!

Jeff has had a rough week.  Radiation is taking a toll on his mouth.  He has sores all over in his mouth which is making it impossible to eat and difficult to swallow his own saliva.  He is no longer able to eat orally, so as of 12/26 he is solely getting his nutrition from his G-Tube.  We just received the first shipment of his Isosource which will cost us $900 a month.  😔 

Jeff has a very busy treatment week coming up.  He has his second dose of chemotherapy Wednesday, follow up with the nurse practitioner and the nutritionist, a video swallow,  along with the follow up IV fluids for 2 days after his chemotherapy and of course radiation M-F (non this week on The 1st due to the holiday).  

Please keep Jeff in your thoughts and prayers as the days are getting very challenging to keep a positive attitude and keep depression from setting in.
