Wednesday July 4

Lunch is over, meds are given and Ker is napping…. I am getting ready for work. Yesterday was just a bit hectic… up early to get ready for an 8 am pick up to go to HFH. Hurry down, get blood drawn, then wait for the team. Ker didn’t mind too much as she had her comfortable recliner and personal flat screen TV.

Not much news at this point, will have more info on the labs on Friday. She did get her Benadryl which promptly put her to sleep. She needed platelets and always has premedication to avoid a reaction. She was supposed to get two more IV meds, but I ended up giving them at home….. She slept on the ride home, when we got here and finally woke up about 5 or 6 for dinner.

Things were kind of hectic……..The salesman delivered my new Town and Country Minivan while Ker was napping (except I had to keep going to reset IVs and Tube Feedings while I was trying to sign papers.) Things were kind of discombobulated for various reasons and no matter what I tried to do it got goofed up. Drop things, spill things, set IV’s for the wrong rate so they take too long, late for meds, late for dinner. Finally finished giving Ker her meds and getting her to bed about 11 pm……..No wonder she was acting so tired.

Figured out how to give her a home shower today………. Just sit her in the bathroom, put lots of towels on the floor and pour water…. She even got a shampoo on that curly hair.  We really needed to do that…….. told her her hair is so long now she can have bad hair days.

Will update soon, will be home Thursday is anyone is planning to visit, but Friday is another HFH day and won’t know when we’ll be home till we get home.

Take Care and Have a  Great 4th!!!!
