Happy Birthday

Today's John's birthday.  And in honor of his birthday, his skin lit up like a birthday cake and his lips swelled up like a birthday clown's.  (His words, NOT mine.)  So immediately following today's 8:35 a.m. daily radiation appointment we went to the chemo clinic where he was disconnected from his 5FU pump. Luckily his chemo doctor, Dr. Nestor, was at the clinic and felt that John had developed an allergy to the 5FU.  (See, I told you "FU" stood for something!)  As of this posting, John is at work (sans pump) with lips that would make Meg Ryan jealous and a supply of Benadryl.  He has an appointment with Dr. Nestor this coming Monday where he will be prescribed with an alternate chemo recipe and hooked back up to his pump.
Happy birthday, John!  Hope tomorrow's a little better for you.  And I hope this posting gives you all a bit of a smile.  Thank you for your prayers, well-wishes, love and friendship.  Right back at you!  Nancy
