Happy Halloween!
Jordy has done great with this set of chemo. He has had no nausea thanks to full doses of Benedryl for the first 24 hours. That also let him catch up on his sleep.
Yesterday the dietician was concerned about Jordy's weight, so she asked if a cafeteria card would help. Now I just take the card to the cafeteria, call Jordy to let him know what the specials are, and get anything he wants. This works much better than the regular hospital food.
He is certainly eating more! He had two big helpings of biscuits and gravy this morning with a sausage patty.
Today is the big Halloween parade. The suggestions for costumes have been very entertaining!! Jordy thought he should turn a bed sheet into a diaper and go as a Doernbecher patient (a little children's hospital humor). In the end he has decided to go as himself and help the little kids. I think the staff is having as much fun as the kids.
AND LATER THAT NIGHT ~~~~
I can't believe it . . . Jordy went trick-or-treating!!!!! He did it . . . he dressed as a baby Doernbecher patient. He had me get a blanket and sheet (diaper) from the laundry cart. The CNA snuck him a baby bottle, safety pins, and a passifier. Have you ever tried to diaper a six foot one man?? It is not easy, especially when he is balancing on one foot. He got way more candy than he ever did in Halsey. He also got pencils, race cars, erasers, and many other fun items. Jordy made the doctors and nurses (and me) laugh. They were all under the impression that Jordy is a shy thing . . . boy, were they wrong.
