saturday well today is day -2, russ is on his last chemo. We had a crazy night every time he would fall asleep he would have electric shock go through his arms,or legs or back, he wasn't sure what was going on ,eather did anyone else. The Dr. were puzzled this morning nothing like that has happened before but everything is ok so forward and onward. Russ also recieved his first blood transfusion today. Dr. don't want his red blood cells to get to low since they are the ones that carry the oxygen to the body. Russ's heart Dr. from Richfield came to see him yesterday, he is giong to stay on as his heart Dr. up here so we won't have to see so many Dr. as we did last week, this is good. Well chemo is almost done and so far no side effects yet,only problem is the water, his weight is up so they plan on working on this problem later on this afternoon. Well thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, we are so greatful for all of you. Please keep us in your prayers. love ya all Carol
