Day +15 - Bald is beautiful

You'll see that we have a new picture for Lynn's blog.  As mentioned in some earlier posts, the chemo was taking full effect which meant Lynn was losing her hair.  A couple of nights ago she decided enough was enough and we called the nurse in with the clippers to get the job done right.  The first words Lynn said when she saw herself was that "I look just like David".  David is Lynn's older brother (for those of you who don't know) and they do look a lot a like, especially now.  David agreed with the comparison when he was in for a visit last night.
Given everything else she's going through, Lynn says the part about her hair is easy.  It'll grow back in time and until then lots of toques and ball caps.
Yesterday afternoon they put her back on one litre of oxygen as she still can't hold her levels up high enough, especially when she's resting and sleeping.  She's still trying to figure out the eating thing as she has some appetite but inevitably ends up with tummy troubles so she's just trying to go slow.  The good thing is she is trying to eat and swallowing is getting easier.
I'll post more once I get to the hospital and get today's update.  I'll also make sure that Lynn knows about all your words of encouragement.  I know she's looking forward to being able to get onto a computer and read them herself.
Have a terrific day!
