Day 4 of Round 5

This is day 4 of round 5 for Ken. Wow, it is hitting him hard. The evenings are the worst. I can't believe as sick as he is at night, that he has been able to work every day. Pretty amazing. He has had the hiccups since Tues night at 8:00. He gets into trouble with the nausea when the hiccups get so quick that he can't breathe. It is hard to watch. Poor Ken. But hopefully, by this time tomorrow, day 5 he will be better. The doc said it would be harder every round and he was right. So yes, he has hiccups and yes, he is throwing up, a lot. But he seems to be keeping his spirits up. I don't know how. He is amazing.
So let's change the subject. For those that have been asking, Ken's mom is getting along better. She is walking with a cane and we are getting her apt ready for her to come home. She is still in the rehab center. She will have to have some home help at first, but she is so anxious to get home. I have been moving furniture and changing things around for her. I think she will be fine when she gets home.
I have had a rough week too. Up until now, I have only been working on Saturdays or Sundays at Babies R Us. This week, I decided to try a Wed night so that I could be home this weekend with Ken. Wow. They worked me till 12:30 in the morning. I was supposed to get off at 10:00, but some big wigs were coming in today. So they kept us all to do extra cleaning. I was so happy that I had typed a resignation letter earlier in the day. It wasn't hard for me to hand it to the manager as we left last night. I will miss the work. Most of the time, I really liked it. But in the big picture of things, I wasn't making any money and Ken and his mom need me at home. So, I quit. I better get my shopping for Norah done tomorrow, in case they take my discount card away after my shift on Saturday. Need anything special Katy?
I was so tired today. I was feeling sorry for myself till I got home tonight and witnessed Ken's predicament. Sure wakes a person up to what is really important and what really matters. I'm not nearly as tired now. And that is good because I have to go to work at the Bookstore to run some backups. Hopefully, I will be only an hour or so. I hope it goes well so I can stay home with Ken. I am working at the Baby store on Sat morning and at the Bookstore on Sunday to run some program updates. Feel sorry for me? Don't. I'm not having near as much trouble as Ken. It won't be bad and I get next weekend off. Yeah. I think I will take a day off next week as well. I need a day to clean house. It is a mess, but not important tonight.
Our daughter Anna that lives in New York City is coming to Colorado next week. Ken is looking forward to seeing her on Wed. We are excited to see her. We will get to see Tessa that day too as she will be in Denver with Anna on Wed.
That's an update for now. Please say an extra prayer for Ken tonight. He is amazing. Love to all of you and as usual, thank you so much for your support. Bev
