September 22, 2022: Thursday night @ the hospital

Friday, September 23, 2022 · by kathy howe

Sam started his next round of medicine this afternoon and he’s been tired as a result.  He’s sleeping now and it’s 9 pm (last night he went to bed at midnight and he routinely goes to bed around 10:30 pm or 11:00 pm at home). 

He woke up at 8 am today with the nurses’ arrival so that plus the medicine = tired, early to bed state.

The medicine takes 24 hours to empty the bag and our Nurse Practitioner said many teens sleep a good portion of those 24 hours.

More tomorrow. 

Good night Team Sam. Xoxoxo

The monitor started beeping because it was low on battery and unplugged for awhile and Sam turned to the nurse and said “Can you tell it to be quiet?” 😂

He got his blood drawn at 10 pm so that they can check the level of medicine so that woke him up. Thankfully no more blood draws until 4 pm tomorrow.

Nausea is kicking in a bit more: 10:22 pm

He doesn’t complain. Just asks for the meds that he knows works. ❤️

I think of the medicine entering his bloodstream as Ninjas destroying the cancer cells.
