When I got to the hospital this morning at 7:30 a.m., my favorite patient was grumpy and very discouraged. When they took his temperature at 5:00 a.m., it was 100.2 and they gave him Tylenol. He was sure they were not going to let him go home and he was bummed out.
I told him he had 45 minutes to enjoy his "pity party" and then it was over. My poor sweetie was having trouble sleeping and with the drugs and general hospital routines, he is exhausted. He really wanted to come home.
Finally, the oncologist came in and said that his blood work was good and she would let him go home today since she would be seeing him Monday. You should have seen his face. He lit up like a Christmas Tree with 5000 lights! It was so cute.
On Monday, if Dr. Chen the radiologist starts the radiation treatments again, he will receive his final chemo on Tuesday. While we are not looking forward to a dose of Cisplatin "poisoning," it means that the conclusion of this therapy is near and that ain't all bad.
So, I will be picking him up this afternoon with much gladness!
