7 lbs 7 days

I wish I had better news to report, but Joe is still losing weight. The pound he gained came back off, plus one. He's losing a pound a day. The bowels have not started working yet. We will be heading back to Tucson on Tuesday to see Dr. Ong and try and get something adjusted to put some weight on Joe. I have to tell you that I am amazed at Joe. He is fighting this thing with everything he has. He refuses to lay around in bed, even though he is so weak and tired. He gets up early, takes his shower, gets dressed and forces himself to eat and start drinking. He naps throughout the day, but does it in the recliner instead of going back to bed. He is working on "normalcy", despite all the setbacks. He reads cards and emails throughout the day, although said he is having some problems with reading. His eyes may just be too tired to focus for very long. I'm doing everything I can to show Joe how to gain weight - - like eating cheese, sweets and pasta and gaining weight for him! Ughh!!! That demonstration has got to stop soon :) More to follow. Pray for a fattening weekend (for Joe that is!!) XOXO Sherrie
