31 August

This past week was both good and bad. First the good, Mac was able to start school this week, got over the side effects from last weekend and ate really well through Friday. We also lost “Fat Mac” as he was finally able to rid himself of all the fluids he was retaining. Unfortunately, on Saturday, he began experiencing some more side effects and had to be admitted back into the hospital. Barb wasn’t able to write because she didn’t bring her computer with her to the hospital on Saturday so I’m giving this update. I told Mac that he had to get better by Thursday and be able to go back outpatient as Annie, Peter and I are going up to visit for Labor Day. I told him that he wasn’t going to be able to avoid Annie and Peter tickling him and picking on him if he’s laid up in bed. Let’s hope that he’s able to get out and enjoy this weekend!
