10/25 - Move upstairs to 5B - IPOP Unit


Today Don was moved upstairs – Nurse said he should have been sent to this unit on Friday but she guesses they had no beds.  We have a wonderful nurse Laurie – she laughs a lot and just has such a wonderful personality – not that we haven’t had any others like this – but she is just so cheerful and pleasant to be around.
Dr. Fuchs came by to see Don earlier before the move – he said it’s possible they will stop some of the IV medications.
Diarrhea has continued all day – there were a few spans that he went like 3 ½ hours – which is a lot better than 2 hour schedule he’s been on.
He is scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow so as I type this he has to drink the yucky stuff to make him go more – great huh?  Just what he needs – but yeah he has too – that’s part of the process.
Temperature and blood pressure have both been good today.
He dozed off a few times today – not long each time but at least he got a little bit of sleep.
Dr. Borrello – Don’s Myeloma doctor came by to see Don – I know Don was happy to see him.  He said he would come again soon.   I did ask Dr. B what if the colonoscopy shows nothing – but I thought that was kinda silly question – we have to just wait and see – no speculating.  I’m sure they will have a plan in action.
I think it’s going to be an even longer night than the others with the colonoscopy prep – I’m going to post this early. 

Keep the prayers coming - we need and appreciate them all!

Love you all!

Don & Muffin
