My brother, Ronald, is taking chemotherapy treatment and we thought he needed a special care package sent his way. Since Daddy just completed his chemo and radiation therapy, we knew of a few things that might be helpful. Daddy developed terrible sores in his throat and since Ronald is having the same three chemo drugs, we thought he needed some herbal green tea in some pretty winter mugs, after all, he does live in Colorado! And since it's cooler up there, we put in some flannel lounge pants, a comfy h
enley and warm wool socks. Not to mention a fleece throw to keep him snugly and warm. And just in case he gets dry skin, some good
lubriderm lotion with an applicator. I know
Rebecca is more than willing to put the lotion on him, but every once in a while, the care giver needs a well-deserved break! We also put in a lavender scented neck roll that can be heated or cooled. And a gel mask to soothe his sinuses. Some crossword puzzles, note pads, pencils and erasers. I'm sure he won't really need the erasers with the puzzles, he's pretty good with those, but we sent them just in case. And some great snacks to keep up his strength. The main thing we included was a basket full of LOVE! Each gift was
individually wrapped so he could have some fun unwrapping it all. He called and said it arrived just as he came home from his chemo treatment. Perfect timing! Our prayers and blessings are with you, brother!
