Long tiring day. We both napped today and the pressures leveled out and the temps were good for the most part. He sipped a milkshake and ate some of Uncle Jim's chicken. I hate to see him so thin.
Moira came up to visit and I took a little walk with her and we got a bite to eat. Cody napped again and then we visited with Moira. Just after Moira and Jim left, Cody called out that he needed to go to the bathroom. Thank goodness they were not here. He was in so much pain but did have a bowel movement. This was a problem from radiation. He got IV pain meds right away and was able to calm down. I hate to see him cry. Then he got cleaned up and the blister popped. It is on his bottom and huge. It is unreal what radiation does. I knew it burned the skin but it just peels off. We will see wound care tomorrow to see how to keep it clean. Just pads under him now to catch the drainage. Hoping for a quiet night. Thanks for all the continued texts, calls and LOVE. We are so lucky that way. xoxoxox
Wow! More to deal with! So many things to tend to and worry about but somehow you both just keep attending to the business of healing and you do it so well! I hope Cody doesn't read this blog. Somehow I think he wouldn't want us all to know about his bowel movements, etc., Nevertheless, you are open and honest and I value knowing what's going on each day. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
