A STRESS FILLED DAY

Another busy day which kept me from blogging today. Ron had another good night. He did not have much urine output overnight but he did first thing this morning. Another treatement for his plasma was started first thing this morning. It was a 2 hour treatment. A few hours later they started his dialysis. Later in the afternoon ...he was helped out of bed and put in a regular chair for a couple of hours. He was not happy with it because it is very uncomfortable for him...but he was a trooper and got through it.
I actually had to leave around noon time to take care of Thomas. He has come down with a double ear infection and pink eye. He had been running a low grade fever the night before and was feeling pretty lousy. So I took him down to urgent care here at the hospital ...we were there around 2 1/2 hours. At that time he only had one eye that was irritated...by the time we left ...the other eye was infected as well. While waiting in the waiting room ...he threw up...crying as he held his ear because it hurt. He had a rough day. I finally took him back to the hotel with grandma...filled his prescriptions and spent a little time with him to get him to take his medicine. He was not happy and he did not want me to leave him. Eventually, he took his meds and I managed to leave to get back to the hospital with Ron. He has had a peaceful night but he is wiped out with todays activities he had here. Hopefully, Thomas will get to feeling better tomorrow and the pink eye will clear up really soon.

Mary,

Sorry to hear little Thomas is feeling so bad. The poor guy! Hopefully the medications kick in and he recovers fast.

Sounds like Ron is still fighting a good fight! Glad to hear it.

I hope tomorrow is a lot less stress for you all! Happy Christmas Eve!!!
