Tough Night & Day
We didn't sleep well last night as we were so concerned we wouldn't hear the infusion pump beep letting us know that the bag of saline was empty. Finally at 1 a.m. we were able to unhook it. Dave was exhausted from the radiation and fell into a deep sleep. I tossed and turned until about 4, then slept until 9. The TBI really took its toll on Dave today. Not only was he exhausted after the morning session, it made him sick to his stomach. We then had a clinic visit which revealed he was dehydrated because of the vomiting, so we now have him on 2 liters of fluid instead of one. That will run most of the night. After his second radiation session he's really worn out, but not sick to his stomach. He actually ate a decent meal and is now in bed trying to sleep.

Dave and Jenn, I'm sorry to hear you guys are having a rough time of it. If you need to get some kind of sleep medication, prescription, over the counter, something. Jenn, getting your sleep is just as important as Dave's so be sure to take care of yourself too. The good news is this is one day less before he gets his transplant and starts to feel better.
