Better day! Cody's counts are coming in. He is no longer neutropenic. That made him happy. These white counts will help with the healing of his bottom and the blister. He is getting around the clock pain meds so that is better. He had a softer bowel movement and it was not as painful. He ate a little lunch and then a little dinner and some snacks.
He even joked when the cleaning lady was here….she was mopping the floor and he says "mom, how could you make me use a toothbrush to clean the floor?" I was mortified. The lady started laughing. He is feeling a little better and high on pain meds. I had to admit it was a good one!
We did not see the wound care but the fellow just came to check him out. I am worried we are not treating the blister right but she said it actually looked good. We will see everyone tomorrow and hoping to go home maybe even tomorrow evening or Tuesday. (Just my predictions!)
Here's hoping for another quiet night….enjoy the day off tomorrow for those that have it!
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI think when you can display a sense of humor, it indicates that you are feeling okay. Considering the power of radiation, it's amazing that it only burns skin. I am sorry that Cody's been in pain. He's more than had his fair share of pain and illness! I am counting the days until we get only fabulous reports of his heroics and antics!
xoxo,
Diane
