I'm probably sounding like a dirty CD (modern equivalent of a broken record), but I recommend LOTS OF WATER to help with the cough. Always helps me tremendously when I have a chest cold...loosens things up. <br /><br />The interaction between you and Parker made me smile. You're a good Dad, Nick. :-) <br /><br />And yes, your Occam's Razor footnote DID have me laughing. :-)<br /><br />Positive thoughts flowing your way on a constant basis...be well! <br /><br />CraigCraig Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257548787271825042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398956932575790.post-22849505053360273502010-02-26T11:30:36.439-08:002010-02-26T11:30:36.439-08:00Wishing your cold gone as quickly as it arrive - a...Wishing your cold gone as quickly as it arrive - a very lovely cold if it was from your darling daughter.<br />Hamada is now on Velcade x twice weekly and taking a very high amount of Dex -80 mg over four days per week for two weeks with one week off both drugs. This will be reduced some if he makes it along with the Velcade. As you know his bloods are v poor. His consultant is hoping to protect him a bit with the Dex a balancing act indeed! We know it's not a nice drug, having dealt with it before a couple of times, but appears to go hand in hand with Velcade with the thought that it does protect from some of the nasty side effects + fevers. I was most worried about the amount this time. but as H is having blood tests twice weekly the whole time while on Velcade they hope to keep a tight check on any changes quickly.<br />Do hope you feel better soon again.<br />Best Regards.Susie Hemingwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936508273837230613noreply@blogger.com
