Tuesday, July 20th, the day after his second infusion and Bobby is doing pretty good. The fatigue has increased and he's having some cramping in his stomach. He thinks maybe he's eating too late in the day. His digestive system is slowing down. The nutritionist told him to get most of his calories in early in the day so the food won't be sitting in his stomach undigested.
Psalm 96:12 let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy;
David and I made a quick trip home to Idaho but before we left we were able to go on another
walking adventure with Bobby. Want to keep the chemo circulating throughout his body and get it into the bone. This time we went to Muir Woods National Monument. It's a beautiful park 11 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's been part of the National Park System for over 100 years. The park is home to old-growth costal redwood groves and other plant life. We followed the friendly designated path through the woods with the other visitors (it was busy) and then ventured off onto "Bootjack Trail" (didn't see another soul). I think he gets bored if it's too easy. It was beautiful to see the shafts of light streaming through the trees and listen to the sound of wat
er trickling through the forest. Bobby has walked this trail many times with his clients. He said someone always gets hurt. Seems David and I would be the likely canidates on this walk. We make it through mostly unscathed.
David got a bug bite or sting of some kind on his hand that caused some swelling and pain for a couple of days but other than that we all survived. We are constantly thankful that we are here and able to spend this time with Bobby. We're talking about how we should celebrate when the doctor announces that they got it all. When Dr. Eisenberg measured the tumor he did say "we're gonna get it all". We believe that.
