Remember with gratitude all those in the military who sacrificed that we may be free!
Another day of fevers. Jim exhausted and depressed. Although he did have a pretty good morning--walked in the hallway with Kathleen--hemoglobin at 9.0--neutrophils at 500. I asked the doctor to check him before I left tonight at 11:20 pm since Jim's thinking is slow. He examined him and felt that it was all due to sleep deprivation. He has a wonderful nurse on tonight who knows him well and she promises to keep a close eye on him and try to get him a good night's sleep. IV antibiotics continue. We are so fortunate to have such wonderful, caring and attentive medical care. We wonder about the 45 million people in this country without health insurance who cannot count on being cared for without going bankrupt! Barbara

Dear Barbara and Jim,
ReplyDeleteThinking of you always and hoping each day that it has been a better one for Jim! I hope that both of you are getting some much needed sleep tonight. Barb, I'm so glad that you are able to leave Jim in such good hands when you go home each night. Sorry that I missed your call again but glad that Alyssa and Frank were able to talk to Jim! Off to bed I go- saying my prayers for both of you.
Love, hugs and kisses from,
Jeanne, Frank and Alyssa
