Maddie, I really admire how you are sticking with him.Yes the waiting is awful. If he is on oxalipalitan, he may be having some neuropathy(nerve damage) in his hands and feet. I have had difficulties with this and I found that the best way to ease the pain was with massage. My son used to rub my feet for me. It would often help me through bad nights. Take care, S
