Day 3 of Cytoxan

Not much to report today! Eric finished day three of cytoxan. He was sick again this morning and slept alot today. Tonight is the last dosage and then maybe the nausea will stop. They try to get ahead of a nausea with medication but haven't seemed to stop it completely.

Dr. Balabanov says we should start writing Eric's lab numbers down on the calendar daily so we can watch what is going on. We talked to his nurse tonight and she will supply us that info later tonight so we can start tracking what is going on. They draw labs between midnight and 3 a.m. and then have results by 4 a.m. It will be interesting to see what happens next week as this counts drop.

I have been working downtown the last couple days. Tomorrow I am moving out of the apartment and over to Chris and Andrea's house. Looking forward to being in a neighborhood where I can run to the grocery store, etc. Not much around the hosptial.

I have changed the settings on the blog so people can leave comments. Eric would love to hear from you so feel free to drop a line or two.

Oh, Eric has a twin on this floor... We haven't met him yet, but he has the exact same birthday, same year.... Because of privacy the nurses can't tell us who.. so I assume Eric will start asking the patients up here soon. He is anxious to meet his twin!! :)

You're near the end of the rough part. Hang in there. I'm thinking of you.
