Sunday morning and no live church for us again. Watched Christ Lutheran on line from O'Neill but not the same. Just an update on Ellis. Friday completed day five of shots, not sure if they called them the infusions, one in each side of the fat part of his stomach every day and lab work on everyother day. He had a unit of blood on Thursday. Aches and pains seem to appear in different places every day. He is losing strength but still can get in bed and can shower. He and Steven picked out a very nice lift chair at Slumberland in Norfolk on Friday and Steven and Janna put it together. It has heat and a separate motor for the head rest which helps. He sleeps well only getting up once a night, a good appetite. Janna had Monday off so she went with us the first day. I only went Monday and Thursday because Steven has enough to do without two handicapped people to look after. Steven is so patiend with both of us and don't know what we would do without Steven and also Janna and of course Sherry who seems to provide us with lots of food. I think tomorrow he starts pills. Tuesday will be his last shot ... See MoreSee Less
