Morgan received his first dose of chemo yesterday. There were a combination of about six meds he received over a nine hour period. Three made up the Chemo formula, two were anti-nausea and one was bladder protection. I don’t have names, but this is what I do remember.
His creatinine count went from 2.9 to 1.7 overnight which is fantastic news. He is officially unclogged (unfortunately, to the other extreme)! He had an x-ray this morning to check bowels and they didn’t express any concerns.
He has slept most of the day, but I wonder if he is really resting? He wakes up often, jerks in his sleep and just doesn’t seem to be able to get comfortable. He looks weak, worn, sick and tired of it all. He doesn’t really have an appetite and has been nicely nudged to take in calories more often than he’d like.
Kasha has been so sweet with him today. She gave him a shower, cleaned up some bed messes and fed him what he would take. Mom has spent extra time at his bedside in the mornings and mentioned she may stay over tonight.
I miss visiting with him, it’s hard to be there without the interaction. I’ve used the time to pray, meditate on scriptures and reflect on sweet memories.
I am hopeful tomorrow brings more good news…
