Angie, Maddie and Vega arrived after 6:30 last night. Jef brought Jason, Aaron and Sam after 10. Curt stayed up until they arrived.
Today has been a good day. Curt has not thrown up since yesterday morning. He has eaten twice (still with smaller portions). With all the accountants in the house (Jef, Jason and Beth), they have been working on our taxes all day. Curt answered questions, etc., in the morning. Linda came at noon and thought things were going well. She thinks they have found the right balance for nausea, etc. She brought some stronger pain patches, which are changed every 3 days. She will return on Monday, but there are nurses on call all weekend (and every night). Curt has been sleeping all afternoon and we are now waiting for the Hospice lady to come give him another "bath" right.
While most of us were working on taxes, Angie played games, etc., with the kids. They set up our ping pong table in the garage. There has been some rain on and off most of the day. The boys played a little basketball outside, and now everyone except Curt and me and Jef (who just returned from the grocery store) went for a walk. Three more people stopped by with food. We are fixing a ham tonight and some other friends are bringing side dishes.
We are looking forward to seeing Curt's brothers tomorrow.

I'm so glad to see that you are having help with food and they have found what will work to keep Curt comfortable. You have been fighting this so long and valiantly. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I hope god gives you and Curt the strength in whatever you both need to do. I have been reading the blog for a very long, long time. I had to reset everything to make a comment. I wanted to let you know our prayers are with you and your entire family.
Tell Beth and Jason if they need anything to just call. We will do anything they need done at this end.
I am glad Hospice is helping you and helping Curt deal with his pain.
