Ed is dozing and I'm just getting payroll ready for tomorrow and some paperwork finished. Thanks for the comments......I will read the new ones to Ed tomorrow - he was pretty tired today ---- in fact, he slept through Bill O'Reilly ---- another crack in the universe he says! I had gone home to check on things, pick up the mail and throw some laundry in - hadn't been home in 3 days. I called him at 5 to remind him to tune in, but he didn't answer so I figured it was just my "shush time". I got back up to the hospital about 7 and we watched the re-run of Bill that comes on FOX at 8 PM. A day without The Factor is like a day without sunshine to Ed.
His fever is still low grade - hovering around 99.9 to 100.5 for the past couple of days, but nothing higher, so that's a good thing. White count is still down around 600. Dr. Menco and Dr. Johnson both agree that early next week will be the soonest we can talk about going home. They don't want to try right before a weekend in case Ed needs something - they both want to be available and that's easier to facilitate during the week. We did walk 2 laps around the nurses station tonight. Ed was pretty tired when we finished. Dr. Johnson changed a couple of meds today and has put in orders to end the countless interruptions during the night - he is allowing the blood sugar finger pricks and checking of vital signs and blood pressue to be suspended for a 6 hour period at night so we can try and get some rest. The meds (some of which are every 3 hours) still have to continue and so does the TPN, but those things are quick and really don't even require him to wake up or move or flip the lights on bright - they just push them into the IV and it's done. Hopefully we'll get a little more sleep tonight - I'll let you know! We're certainly looking forward to some peaceful nights at home very soon! As wonderful and caring as everyone is here --- this is definitely NOT the Los Robles Spa!
Good night all!
Good Morning Ed, congrats on your two laps yesterday -- reminds me of your walks early in the AM up at the lake house. I am sure the walk at Los Robles is no comaprison in the wildlife though! Now today, more progress --- let's get you out there to load the day boat -- no wait, that's the boys' job, if you can wake them up before 10AM! How is it that you can party till 3 AM with them, and you are the first one up? Ahhh, great memories, just focus on those memories and before you know it, we will be back up there. Looking forward to your speedy recovery, and hope to see you soon. Love you, TC
