Cliff has been in the hospital since Monday night for his 3rd round of
chemo.
Yesterday they gave him two bags of blood, so hopefully his energy and complexion
will improve. He's looking quite pale these days.
He actually was doing very well until 7 tonight. He has had the hiccups off
and on like the last two times. Tonight was the first time he got sick. He's
been sick a couple of times now so we are hoping the extra medicine will help
him. When they started giving him the extra medicine I knew it was time to get
comfortable, because I was going to stay here tonight. The nurses are great,
but when he's sick like this they encourage having someone stay with him. I'm
happy to report that he hasn't had the headache as severe as last time. He
still gets it occasionally, but not as intense.
Tomorrow he is scheduled to have his last spinal tap. Fingers crossed that
it goes well! Even if he's sick we think Dr. Turner will still try and do the
procedure, but we'll find that out in the morning for sure.
Time for a tangent...
It's impossible to get good rest in a hospital! They have to check vitals’
often, blood work at 4am, and they even change the trash at that time. I don't
understand why they have to do the trash at 4am. Everything else I get, but not
the trash!
