I'm smiling today. So happy to be here with Jeremie. Makes me feel like myself. I have missed him. I think I have missed harassing the poor man more though! Got to have a long cuddle session last night. I didn't even mind the confined space of a twin size hospital bed. Just felt nice to hold on to him. Makes me realize it isn't just a dream.
We had a float nurse last night. Poor thing, she obviously was a great nurse, but this is a complicated floor. So I just whispered in Jeremie's ear to have patience. She is safe, and double checking and asking questions if she doesn't know. My kind of Nurse! It made me feel safe. Of course they are in the room a million times a night. And again, I'm sleeping through it! Weird world!
Jeremie was given platelets this morning. I checked his labs. White blood (WBC) count is 1100, neutrophil count (ANC) is 500, and monophil count is 300!!! Yay! Those are some awesome labs! Explains why his eyes are starting to heal. His left eye is so much better. Last week it was completely swollen shut. This week no swelling and only a tiny little hemorrhage is there. The right eye isn't swollen at all, but still has a medium size hemorrhage. He is looking healthier and healthier every time I see him. Oh and he still has some eyebrows!!! Praying they stay! This is a big deal to him :-)
So our goal this week is to start practicing food going down the gullet. Nice and slow, it would be nice if by next weekend he could work up to be eating several times a day without nausea or vomiting. Slow and sure are the course. And we wonder why he is happy to see me go? ;-)
Love you all,
Cori
