Spent the Weekend at Huntsman Again

What a wicked disease Cancer is! Saturday night Bruce was having trouble breathing. His oxygen level was low even after trying his nebulizer a couple of times so we took him to the hospital to see if we could get some oxygen for him. After a ride in an ambulance from Alta View Hospital to Huntsman he was admitted to the hospital and spent Saturday and Sunday night there. They have run multiple tests and have been unable to determine a cause for the breathing problem other than his asthma. It's not bad enough that he has lung cancer but the asthma is definitely making it more complicated. A CT scan has shown that the cancer has not grown but has slightly decreased in size. It is not enough of a decrease to look at it as a response to the immunotherapy but we were glad to hear that the cancer has not grown. He does have some fluid around his heart which is not good. When we talk to the doctor today we will be discussing his nutrition (we think he needs a pick line to get proper nutrition to help with his weakness and swelling limbs), his interesting visual images, and his inability to keep food down at times. Fun fun fun. NOT! Love to you all.we so appreciate your fasting and prayers.
