Another night in the hospital

Hello! It was a much better day for Jim! He was able to get a great night's sleep last night - despite a nursing assistant coming in at 1:30 am to have him get up to get weighed!! It turned out to be a mistake for them to have him do that and doctors and nurses apologized all day. He still has his morphine pump, but they are weaning him off of that onto oral narcotics so that he can manage the cough from home. He MAY come home tomorrow, depending on how he does during the night with getting off the morphine pump. It will be soooooooo nice for him to come home. I miss him like crazy when he's not here. The cat and dog just don't have the sense of humor and communication skills that he has! I promised him that I won't wake him up during the night to make him get on a scale to be weighed :-) . He had his first radiation session this morning. That will continue every day for 6 weeks. Time for me to try to get some sleep.
Good night all!
Elizabeth

Oh my goodness Elizabeth..... I am so sorry to hear that Jim (and you) have been having such a hard time the last couple days. I became worried when I didn't get an immediate response to an email from Jim (he's sooo very good at that :).... of course I came straight to the blog to check on things. Will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. All the best....
