The weekend is finally here - we're looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow! Took Ed out for a ride in the car today - he was anxious to get out of the house again, so we stopped by the office to pick up his briefcase and then we picked up food at Wood Ranch for his Mom for dinner. That was enough activity - the pattern has become that he feels pretty good in the morning, reasonably okay into the early afternoon and by 4:00 the cycle of symptoms starts to really ramp up and is hard to get under control until about 8 PM. We did get some new pain medication today - a morphine elixir that he puts between his gums and inside of his cheek to absorb through his mouth. The nurses and doctor have been really working hard to make sure they try everything to find the right combination of meds to keep his symptoms as controlled as possible. A new home health care nurse came by tonight to draw blood for lab work so they can make sure he's getting everything he needs in the TPN.
Ed is sleeping pretty peacefully right now - he was quite entertaining for the nurse tonight and the comedy routine wore him out I think! His sense of humor is alive and well.
There's really nothing new to report today. It's great to be home with Ed and we're planning to relax and enjoy the weekend. We hope you have something wonderful planned for the next few days. Let us know - post a comment or send an e-mail. You can send an e-mail to my g-mail account at emeraldcityliz@gmail.com if you're having trouble with posting a comment on the blog.

Hi Ed,
ReplyDeleteIt's Ron Le Blanc. I'm the one that drank Budweiser at your lakehouse. Sorry about that, it was on sale, won't happen again.
I hope you had a good sleep last night and woke up feeling good and are having a good day.
Hi Ed, happy beautiful Sunday morning. Hope all is well and you have a great day. Love you man, TC
