So I went to see dad on Wednesday night and he was feeling horrible. He was swollen, was bloated, his tummy hurt, he had 5 - 8 tubes in him all day and was just plain miserable. He felt like he couldnt breath because he was retaining more fluids than he could pass. He was trying really hard to sit up in bed, to lay in different positions and just try to get comfy. He really struggled with the day and was exhausted when it was all done.

BUT..........

Thursday was a whole different ball of wax. He was happy, cheerful, teasing and just having a better day all around and the reason why is GOOD BLOOD. They gave him 2 units of GOOD BLOOD. What happens to our blood when you get chemotherapy is that it kills the blood and makes it worthless basically. The new GOOD BLOOD was like a breath of fresh air and a good nights sleep. It gave him energy, made him feel relaxed and a whole lot better.
