Feb 7, 2013 Day 4 of IL2 2B

It was a long night! Ron got his dose #4 around 10:00 p.m. last night and right on time midnight he started to rigger, it took a lot of medicine to get them to stop and shortly after that he got a fever:( That is the story of Ron and his doses.

This morning Ron has had a much harder time getting back to his "old self." The nurse said it was a combination of the IL2 and all the drugs used to help him get rid of the riggers.  He's doing better now but he has literally slept this entire day! But I think that is exactly what he needed.

It has been a success! He was able to receive 4 doses and reacted well to all of them.  His doctor is very pleased! So it is looking like he may even get to go home this afternoon! That would be so great! They feel like he will have a much better recovery at home and in his own bed! I agree!!!!!

We just found out we have the all clear for the radiation treatment which will happen in just a few weeks and it is a great thing because the combination of the radiation with the IL2 really work together to boast the immune system.  So all in all things are going well for Ron.  Once again the support that we have received from so many people both in visiting Ron here texting him and me, phone calls, e-mails and lots of prayers has been so very much appreciated! Its so nice to have so many people who we can feel love from!

The blessings are always there and we know it! I will post more later and let you know where we are home I hope!!!
FIGHT- FIGHT- FIGHT
