So here we are we made it to the Hospital on this snowy, and sad day for the people in Boston! It's amazing to me how we are here in this hospital fighting for Ron's life and people think nothing of taking someone else's life. What a sad thing!
We arrived at the hospital around 8:00 am, and they were ready and waiting for him. As usual he was gowned up, and hooked up to everything you can think of. Then he was given his first set of meds and the pic line team was ready and waiting to stick him with their needles. It took a little longer than usual they couldn't seem to get the line to go where they wanted it to but, they finally got it in the right place, which we are sure of because they then have an ex-ray taken to make sure that it is in the right place, and it was.
Labs next and all seemed great. By this time we have ordered lunch. First dose of IL2 started at 1:25 pm today. Riggers came just as expected and they were able to get them under control we thought but about an hour later they came again! Double dose of riggers on his first dose!
Hats from Ron's team we wore them proudly!!!
It's now 8:00 pm. Ron is sleeping. When he wakes I am going to be taking him for a long walk!
This time because of his brain swelling, and the bleeding they are not going to give him Lovenox (this is a blood thinner he received on a daily basis last time) because it can make that worse. But on the down side because he's not getting it he is at higher risk of blood clots. It's kind of a double edge sword, but we were told the more he walks and moves around the better it is for him! Hence I will be making sure he does A LOT of walking!
We are expecting dose 2 around 10:00 pm tonight, my favorite time haha because that means riggers around 2 or 3 in the morning. But that is what we are here for so as Ron would say "lets do some dancing with the starts!" He always has a good attitude about everything!!!
This is what he looks like right now!! Do you think I'm going to get him up to go for a long walk??? Yep I sure am! I will be cracking the whip! All in LOVE of course!!! In his own words we have to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!!
Thank you all for the love, prayers, and support! We feel it all!
I will do my best to keep updated this week!
