Doing better, Sylvia to the rescue

Dear Friends and Family,
Another interesting day. First off Nan had a good night with lots of rest and little pain and wake time. But early this morning, 4 am there was very little urine output so I did not really go back to sleep with concern over possible dehydration. I left the house early this morning but wrote the important facts I needed in my book, then started calling Dr. Melynk, Nan's long time oncologist. His office finally caught up with him doing research and he called me directly. We discussed Nan's possible need of a transfusion and my pressing concern about possible dehydration. He was not aware of the 21 lbs Nan came home from the hospital with. So as we talked he decided that he would like to try lasix first, to pull some of the fluid she is carrying lose and out. He took the drug store number and called it in. We will see him on friday for a regular appointment and at that time we will decide about the possible transfusion and whether Nan needs one. While I was driving to Vallejo Sylvia Ahn, our long time friend from Tracy called to say she could come this afternoon to be with Nan. That was such good news. And so she came and spent the afternoon sitting with Nan and helping pass the time. She emptied every trash in the place unloaded and loaded the dishwasher and did more stuff I have not noticed yet. Thank you very much Sylvia for your help today.
Loree and I had discussed in advance if she could be available to help Nan make the transition down from upstairs mid day. Loree said she would be happy to help and did. She spent several hours here in the office today and was a great help holding the business together and dealing with the clients. Loree has a unique ability to keep tons of details in the air at the same time and to do it all perfectly, plus feed the fish, add to their water, double check the kitties and dogs and watch over Nan. Thank you Loree.
I am going to Madera tomorrow because I've put it off way too long. Nikki has agreed to stay with her mom for half the day and we are so thankful that she is being allowed to help out in this tough time by her work. Nan has already started a list of things she hopes they can accomplish as they are together tomorrow afternoon. I guess you know she is feeling some better, much less foot pain, no throwing up today so far, more alert and awake.
By the time I got back from seeing Discovery Bay properties this evening Nan had started taking the lasix and we hope there is a good result. Thanks Sylvia for picking up the meds and some milk.
At this point we are still pointed toward the cruise and with Nan feeling better our odds are getting better. As you might imagine I am working very hard to get everything done, there is just so much to do and it seems everyone wants something. Yet it is good to have business and to be able to make money.
Tonight we are very thankful for the blessings of this day, the safety of miles traveled, the sweet homeowners I met today.
So we send our love to you tonight seeking Gods answers, His healing.

love

tim and nan
