8:00 – Arrived at JH – Nurse today was Kathy – very sweet girl J - took Don’s weight, temp, asked normal how are you feeling questions. Took blood work so we had to wait for that. Didn’t seem to wait that long for results – not sure if that means we are just getting used to waiting or not. Hold up – what am I saying? I hate to wait for anything haha – but do have more patience in some things than Don but one thing he has never minded waiting for is anything to do with doctors - but a line at the grocery store he turns into a bear!! *L*
Nurse Practitioner Kelly came and talked to Don – again asking the routine questions – how he was feeling? Any nausea? How he was sleeping, etc.
Blood work came back and numbers are definitely dropping – they are expecting in a few days one of the counts will drop to “0”. As I’ve explained before – this means he will have no immune system and will be so susceptible to getting sick. Let’s pray not – lots of prayers being said for that one. He feels better than yesterday but that’s not to say he feels great. His stomach is still very queasy – he has 2 medications for that and they seem to help a little. He’s eaten some today – not a lot – but this is expected. When I ask if he wants this or that he turns that nose up at me – okay one more time and he’s getting the nag patrol after him!! Haha
We left around 10ish so it was a quick visit for sure.
Nurse Practitioner Kelly did write prescription for sleep aid to help him sleep. We both take it because I have a lot of trouble in that department as well.
We did stop by to see if Don could get his hair shaved. Last Saturday when Bri was here he cut Don’s hair really short – Don didn’t get upset as he’s prepared himself for this for a long time now. I had forgotten to include this in my blog for last Saturday. He is STILL as handsome as ever JJ. It is starting to come out more so he’s just going to do it and it’s okay everyone – he really is totally fine with it!! They couldn’t do it today so we have appointment for 11:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Afternoon Don rested – I fixed nuggets and mashed potatoes for dinner and he ate some. Of course not as much as I wanted him to – but hey even 2 nuggets and about 4 tablespoons of mashed taters was better than 1 nugget and a spoonful – so I was happy!
Getting ready to talk to Kendall and Raelynn on Skype – can’t wait for that!
Don said he wanted part of a chocolate junior – this cake thingy he likes so that makes me happy too!! Anytime he eats I’m happy!! Wow 4 happy’s in 4 sentences!!! JJ
Okay folks calling this one done for the day!
Until tomorrow…………
Love you all!
Don & Muffin
