Thurs night

What day is this? I think it is Day +17. We have kind of lost track of the bone marrow transplant. I gave in and went to the hospital this afternoon for a few minutes. I was talking to his nurse about the fact that Ken isn't so much a cancer patient as he is a lung compromised patient. He has had an ok day. He is pretty heavily sedated and the nurse says that is making things quite a bit easier for him. His breathing looked less labored. He actually looked calmer, if that is possible. The x-ray this morning showed some minor improvement. Let's hope that continues. They are definitely moving Ken early tomorrow morning to the new wing. He will be in room 3410 which is the closest to the nurses station. I get the feeling Ken is the sickest on the unit. I can't imagine anyone worse. He is giving me a scare.
I am actually feeling much better. Sore throat is gone. Runny nose, not so much. I am coughing a little, but the cough syrup is helping that too. I feel way better tonight. I am hoping that my cough goes away by tomorrow. I haven't spent much time in Ken's room. I would like to tomorrow with him in his new room. The nurse won't be in there constantly since they will monitor him from the desk. I'd like to be there to see how that works. So I plan to be there early tomorrow to see the doctors. I completely missed them today.
I hope you have a peaceful night. I hope Ken does too. Bless you all. Bev
