The heat or chemo?

The only time Clark did well this week was when we were at Santa Cruz. I would have loved to stay there a few days, but we do not want to be 1.5 hours away from his medical care if he gets the night sweats or a fever, which could be lethal if not treated promptly. Clark is also not in the "window" where it is okay to travel.

So we are not sure it is the heat (100 degrees and hotter) or chemo or perhaps a combination of both that is making Clark sick. He has no fever but also no energy.

Perhaps even, it could be as we had been told that chemo gets worse as it goes on and maybe this is the start of that. Either way it has not been pleasant for Clark. Our A/C was set at 78 degrees but he seemed to get no relieve, so I turned it down to 76 degrees and that two degrees seems to help him so much. I know he will be upset when the PG&E bill comes but really there is no choice.

It does not help that Emma has not slept well the last two nights either. She is trying hard to get out of day time naps too.

So good sleeping for all of us has been halted temporary.
