Chemo day came a day early this week, because when we made it last week- we were to get a bolus of magnesium & perhaps potassium on Friday because of Erbitux. He is no longer getting that Erbitux, as I had posted yesterday. PLUS, his counts are very good- what a strong boy!! So, he has from the time they unhook 5FU on Friday til March 15th free of chemo treatments. I hope this is a nice time for him to get his energy back and perhaps EAT MORE!! He woke up pretty nauseous this morning- so he didn't want to hear a thing about food. Last night his belly was rumbling all night- which he said then made it hurt, which in turn caused the nausea this morning.
We are in hour two thus far here at LCC. Since we are here on a different day (usually Thursday), we get to meet new people... nurses, patients and volunteers. It's not as packed in here today as it has been on occasion.
Today we brought a 'good' treat for our wonderful people here at LCC. Kat needed to better food to snack on- we usually bring sweets... you know, the yummy treats,(such as donuts, cookies, whoopie pies, girl scout cookies, etc)...but we felt the need to make it a 'better for them' treat today... after all, Melissa has to fit in that wedding gown!! :)
They tried not giving him the benedryl today- not sure how that came about, it was in the orders- but we fixed it and it wasn't even an issue- they were very sweet about it and just ran and got it.
After benedryl was given, Jimmy asked me what I do for 6 plus hours... Ha... well, I read, text, get on computer... AND watch him. CREEEeeeepy?! LOL- He just gave me one of his sheepish looks - anyone that knows him, knows it- head cocked down and off to side and he looked 'out the side of his face' at me with that tilted smile. Cute!! :)
Well, time to read some more.
Love and hugs to all.....
