Blood Donation's and Heartburn

Throughout this ordeal Cliff has received a lot of support from family, friends, and co-workers. After I wrote my post about blood and platelet donation we received a lot of support of people saying they would go and do it. Thanks to all of you who have gone to donate blood or platelets. It means a lot to us both.

Great group of guys!

Poor Sam is afraid of needles, but she did it!

Lea and family!

This week Cliff has had heartburn. I’ve never had heartburn but by his lack of appetite and constant moving it seems like it’s pretty painful. From our understanding this is a side effect of chemo and his body not having enough time to adjust. He’s been taking Prilosec so hopefully he’ll get some relief soon. I want him to feel better and I want some sleep! He also some back pain, he things he pulled a muscle.

Last night Cliff went to a work event with me. He was a great sport about it! I told him many times that if he wasn’t feeling up for it we wouldn’t have to go.  He was determined to go even if we didn’t stay long. His heartburn and back we’re bothering him, but he stuck it out. (I was pretty sure he was going to get sick at one point, but he didn’t) It was nice for us to do something.  I talk about him frequently at work and I think it was nice for others to see him and how he’s doing. The support they’ve offered us both has made this hard thing easier. When I say Cliff needs me, they say go.

Our lives are super busy. Kids, doctors, and work leave little time for me some days. I love all the comments and messages Facebook, but I haven’t found time to write all of you back. Please be patient with me!
