Chemo week 1 continued

Charlie continues to impress us all with his resilience. He has had a pretty healthy appetite since coming home though it doesn't come without issues! Because of the liver enlargement (hepatomegaly) and spleen enlargement (splenomegaly), his stomach continues to be somewhat distended. This adds to other areas of discomfort and makes him rather full of gas, if you catch the wind. Matt has been away from him through the beginning of the week, but Charlie asks for him with frequency. Charlie called his dad just to talk about the beagle puppies, Jake and Jude. He also wanted Matt to bring a pick-up down when he came to visit, ending the request with a great big "vroom vroom!"
