The computer is up and running again. Joe still has 9 more radiation treatments and 1 more Chemo treatment. He will be done with all the treatments by the end of October. Then after that it will take probably about 1 to 2 months to heal up. About the 2nd or 3rd week of November we will find out how well the treatments have affected the tumors. He has been running a high fever and the doctors said to keep an eye on it. It was up to 102.2 at one point and has been up and down since then. His tongue is hurting him a lot now because not only does it have blisters but it is also extremely burnt. All the way around the outside of his neck is very dry with tiny little blisters on it. His sleeping is getting worse because of all the phlegm that builds up. About every 20 to 30 minutes all night long the phlegm builds up so much that Joe stops breathing for what seems to be an eternity until he begins gagging to bring it up. He has to spit all that nasty stuff out and for everyone that knows I have a spit phobia, this makes the hair on my arms stand up when he does it. He is so Loud at night now when he sleeps the kids can hear him from their bedrooms with the doors shut. Lets all pray that after the 19th of October that the healing process will be very quick for him!

Love,
Crystal
