Day 15

After we arrived at the Hope Lodge yesterday, Bryan had a much needed nap. He slept for a few good hours and then woke to eat a bit of dinner, then back to bed. He had a very restful evening without an IV machine beeping at him, someone asking him to lift his arm to check his blood pressure or the surprising feeling of someone sticking a thermometer in his ear every few hours. He still felt like he could have slept 8 more hours if we didn’t have to go to his first follow up appointment this morning. Typically we arrive an hour early to get his labs drawn and then wait an hour for the labs to be ready for his appointment. We soon found out that when you have the first appointment of the day, you can not go early to get your labs drawn. His numbers are still looking good and he’s still trying to eat and drink more. He’s very tired most of the time, but that’s his body telling him he needs to rest, so he does.
