Struggling

Mike was struggling! He was sore, sick, tired just all the things that came along with this damn treatment. It was hard for Harrison to see his Dad this way, especially when there was nothing you could do for him. He was going to school, he was struggling at school, luckily his teachers were amazing and we got through it. Mike would get up in the morning and make these elaborate breakfasts everyday for me and Harrison. He had started watching cooking shows and would get all kind of ideas, I have no idea how he chose cooking shows. Now looking back I think it was because he was so hungry so to make and smell the food made him feel good. Harrison and myself did not want to eat because we knew he could not eat and we felt like crap but he insisted that we eat. I was starting to think that the weight he was losing, I was for sure gaining and then some. He still walked around with his squirt bottle, he literally went nowhere without that bottle, it was his lifeline through all of this. I know it sounds crazy, it was a squirt bottle but when you cannot eat, drink and you have all the mouth, throat and neck issues he was having, you do what you gotta do! Friends, he was really starting to struggle which made me just crazy, I cried, screamed, prayed and everything, it was all I could do, my heart was broken seeing my husband this way. Times were hard for our family..
