Day -6

Marcia and I just arrived at the hospital to be with Ryan for the evening. We'll probably watch American Idol with him.
Ryan had a good night last night. We left him around 8:00pm. He was still receiving the chemo drip but we were exhausted and it was going to be another couple of hours. Ryan said he only threw up once, right after chemo was done. The nurse woke him up a couple of times during the night to do vitals but he went right back to sleep after. He hasn't felt any ill effects from last night's chemo like they said he would- no headaches, alcohol buzz or hangover. Another small miracle! He had a different chemo drug this morning and he's been fine all day. Now we're just waiting for the evening chemo that could be here any time now. So, he just read a lot today and watched some TV. He's already missing the DishNetwork DVR from home and the on-screen programming guide!

  1. Thanks Dad for posting that. Yeah, I really am feeling really good, not sick at all or anything! The only thing that is kinda bugging me is since I arrived yesterday morning they started me on IV fluids, just to keep me hydrated. I'm still on them as we speak, so it's been about a day and a half! Needless to say, I feel like I have to go to the bathroom like every 30 minutes!
