Well, we started the day as we normally do with vitals. Thank God that everything there is going well. Today is the Jones family Christmas and we have had a couple of calls from everyone there. Glen and Lois are supposed to stop by on their way back home. Bill is here with us today. Mike is at home because he is running a low-grade temp. He's on antibiotics and should be back here tomorrow.
All in all, it's been a pretty quiet day. Adam has watched movies and we are watching the 2nd season of Friends. Glen, Lois, and Lucille came and brought some food from the get-together. While they were here, Adam started getting the chemo. Overall, he did really well. Some of the medicines run through pretty quickly while others take longer (more than an hour because of the size of the catheter that they have to run through.) He's taking a good size amount of Prednisone and he has to do a mouth swish and mouth wash. He had been doing really well, not nauseated until he took the prednisone. He said that it tasted bad. He did his mouth swish then and got sick. Just once. The nurse brought in some phenergan (sp) and gave it to him via his IV. He then went off to sleep.
I just hope for Adam's sake that this runs smoothly. He is getting grumpy but with everything that he's gone through he has just accepted it and gone on. The prednisone can cause mood swings and crankiness. I've asked him what I can do to help him. All I can do is be here when he wants me and do the things that he needs. He needs all the support that he can get from all of us.
