FRIDAY JUNE 21st, 2019
Today seems so boring after all the ups and downs of the last week and a half.
Chris didn't sleep super well because of all the fluid he's receiving as a result of the chemo. Despite all of the bathroom breaks, he was given Lasix to help with fluid retention and swelling from all of the fluid.
Both the nurse practitioner and the attending oncologist stopped in today and said that his body is tolerating the chemo well and his liver enzymes are decreasing, but not dropping dramatically. So far so good.
Chris did receive a unit of blood today. His blood levels are good for being an oncology patient, but they feel that raising his Hemoglobin level a bit could potentially help his double vision. Speaking of double vision..., we picked up a sweet pair of new glasses to help with the situation until it resolves on it's own. Check out the pictures.
Lastly, Stellan was able to come and visit Dad today. He had a blast looking out the window from such a high floor. It was so great that Chris was feeling great and Stellan was in a good mood. The only thing that sucked is that Chris can't hold Stellan while receiving chemo so that Stellan isn't exposed chemo waste. Either way, it was great to spend some time all together for a little bit.
Thanks as always for the continued love and support.
