In my last post I talked about some side effects and how Cleve hasn't really had any, well, I posted too soon. That very night Cleve developed the rash I was talking about. There was nothing significant about it other than it was there and mildly itchy. He also experienced fatigue and often found himself dozing at odd times of the day, he also continued feeling the muscle aches, but nothing a little naproxen couldn't fix.
Last weekend we went to the fair for a few hours and then up to Lake of the Woods for a mini vacation. Cleve wore his hat and sunscreen but apparently it wasn't enough, the docs were not lying about that photo sensitivity. Cleve must have rubbed the sun screen off his hands because he got a doozy of a burn there and a bit on his wrists. Also, while out on a paddle boat, that was completely covered I might add, Cleve got a bit of exposure on his shins where his pants rode up while pedaling. After reading a story to Walker and Gavin tonight, Walker accidentally popped the blister on his shin and it drained.....really gross. Anyway, I wanted to share the grossness with you all so of course I took pictures. I only got the wrist burn/blister, i'll have to snap a pic of his shins to post as well, but for now, this is what i got.
Our vacation next month is in a sunny place which we had planned way before we new about the cancer so we are going to have to be extra on it about keeping him covered and out of the sun.
And thats about it for the update. We have just been going about our daily lives and building memories. I apologize if the posts are a little far apart, I am updating you all as things happen and thankfully not a lot is happening at the moment with Cleve. But please keep checking so you don't miss anything in the future. Until next time....
