Today was an interesting day. Mom and I had a lot to do, so the plan was that I would go see dad while she went to have her hair done. There was an immediate problem with that plan ... The battery in the Audi was dead! So, I put it on charge and mom dropped me off at the hospital on the way to her appointment.
I went up to the fourth floor, asked the nurses how dad was doing, and they told me he was being moved to the fifth floor ... Right then! I walked over to his room so he'd know I was there and I noticed he had a cup of ice chips, a spoon, and a huge smile on his face!
There were three nurses taking dad up to the fifth floor. It was an interesting journey, partially because they had to hunt for an elevator that would accommodate a hospital bed. Getting that bed, the rolling stand with all the tubes and bags and machines into and out of an elevator was quite a chore! All the while dad was enjoying his ice chips.
:)No radiation again today ... I hope how soon they get that darned machine repaired! His chemo doctor came in to check on him and said he'd be having another targeted therapy treatment next week. At least there's hopes of forward progress.
We still don't know where dad will be going for rehab, or when he will be going, but I'm guessing that will all fall into place soon. We are all hopeful that the right solution will present itself before we freak out.
I definitely have a cold. I'm taking DayQuil, or the Walgreen's equivalent, but it isn't working as well as I'd like. Christy seems to be much better, as does Bill. I think mom dodged the bullet, and I hope and pray this won't be shared with dad!
It's late. I'm sleepy. My nose and sinuses are stopped up. I'm hoping the cold meds kick in soon so I can get some sleep. I had a great time tonight celebrating a friend's birthday with a bunch of friends. Mom got some rest while I was out. Tomorrow? More of the same.
Much love to you all!
