Not sure if Chemo will be tomorrow or not

Dad went for IV fluids last week, but was still dizzy and fainting right after the fluids. So, there must be another reason besides electrolyte imbalance that is also causing this super low BP and very frequent passing out. He wore a Holter Monitor Friday to Saturday and will turn it in on Monday. Also, he will see the oncologist tomorrow. His J-tube is clogged so hes not getting nutrition since night before last. It didn't alarm last night and it didn't go in!  Hopefully all their tries to unclog will work today before his "potato line" is hooked up tonight.

Cindy is in town staying with them which has been wonderful, doing all kinds of projects ( like Cindy does!) Karen was over there visiting yesterday and today. Raney and I went up for a while and I helped one of two hummingbirds get out of their garage. Mom got the second one on her first try! It's a delicate thing to get those extremely skiddish birds to want to sit on a silk red flower soaked in sugar water that is stuck on the end of a long branch. But it works to carry them outside so they can fly away!
