When You Are Sick Snuggle... :)

Wow what a week! This has been a pretty rough time for the Abram family! John is having crazy high blood pressure again. It is so hard to get it under control once it starts this cycle. He is also really struggling on dialysis. About half way through he gets an extremely painful head ache, then his pressure starts to go high. We are working with his kidney doctor as well as the nurse to see what we can do to make it bearable for him and manage the pain as well as the pressure! When John had had his first cancer treatment called Nexavar his blood pressure went so high it lead to him having the seizures. After he went off of Nexavar we were able to work with his doctors to get it back to a reasonably healthy reading. After he started taking the new cancer treatment (Torisel) it is back to a very high reading! Another concern is the glands in his neck have started to swell on both sides! They are about the size of a golf ball! We contemplated going to the ER but John felt it would be OK to wait until Monday... So hopefully we will find out what the issue is with that tomorrow. He is really exhausted and a bit frustrated with all of this. We certainly could use some extra prayers sent our way!

Also Thursday night when Alaina got home from going to the movies with Grandpa John and Grandma Kay she said she wasn't feeling very good... sure enough by 11:00PM she had a temp of 103! She ended up having to go to see Rene and received not one but two shots! Ouch! Lets just say she and John both have a huge dislike of getting shots! You can always tell when she is sick because she actually sits down! The only thing good about her being sick is we had lots of snuggle time on the couch... ! Her fever finally is down today! :)

John and Alaina had been hanging out watching TV Sunday night when my mom said I think they may have falling asleep ~ sure enough I found them both crashed out with the TV blasting! I don't know how they do that. But they looked so cute I had to take a picture! :)
