9:30PM. Katie slept for 8 hours last night!! yay!! Benadryl is a wonderful thing. She was more sore and stiff than usual since she was in pretty much the same spot for so long, but it was great to “sleep in”. She was also hungry for breakfast, which was a first for her. She and I are not breakfast people to begin with, then throw in feeling so rotten for the past few days, and it’s no wonder she never wanted breakfast.
So far, her new pain pills are working fine. No new allergy-bumps.
It was the “usual” morning…breakfast, shower, take a 6-minute walk outside with Alex and me, sit in living room and fall asleep on the chair.
After lunch, Nurse Mel stopped over to check on the patient. She agreed that Katie looked great. Nurse Melanie wants her to continue the Benadryl at bedtime (if not at least once more during the day). And to also start taking the colace twice a day to avoid the “problem pipes” if these new pills treat her the same way as the Percocet. I hope not.
After dinner, the three of us took another walk.
Now Katie and I are watching the Cooking Channel.
It was an uneventful day, yet at the same time a very, very exciting day. Any day that the rash is going away is a good day.
Til later……
