Nose Bleed

Oh my....yesterday afternoon Jerry coughed and sneezed and his nose started bleeding. We couldn't get it to stop so we called 911 and took him to the ER. They couldn't get it stopped so the doctor packed the one side of his nose and we stayed in the ER for a while to make sure it was stopped. He has to leave the packing in until Tuesday. He is miserable with the packing and has to use the oxygen in one nostril or in his mouth. He is using it mostly in his mouth and it has dried his throat and made it sore. He has anxiety attacks when he thinks he isn't getting enough oxygen and gets very irritable. Neither one of us got much sleep Saturday night and he has felt pretty rough today. He has napped off and on all day. I am hoping he is able to sleep better tonight. He will be going back to radiation treatments tomorrow. He has 8 more to take.

Judy, I'm glad I can keep up on how things are going with you and Jerry without having to bug you constantly.

Hang in there and please know that I am praying for both of you.

Love, Joeli
