Tony is beginning to feel a little bit better. He was able to play cards with me yesterday, and he kicked my butt. It's pretty bad when I can't win to someone who has "chemo brain." Haha. He was able to do 15 laps around his hospital floor. This is a big step up because he hasn't been feeling well enough to even watch a movie or write in his journal. So he is extremely grateful to be feeling a bit better. However, the sores in his mouth and throat are multiplying and make it painful for him to talk or eat. I think he really misses food, even though most food doesn't sound good to him right now.
He has really been missing Jack so we got special permission today to take him in. We have to bring him to the lobby on his floor and Tony can come out of his room with a mask on and see him. He still can't touch him, but at least he can see him.
I heard a quote in church yesterday: "It means much to give of your money, it means more to give of your time, but it means most to give of yourself." It made me think of Tony's donor. He took that quote literally. He gave of himself big time! He gave Tony so much! We are so grateful to him.
