It's been a pretty quiet, stable day. That's a good day right now and we'll take it.
Ollie slept much of the day with little pain after a rough night of breathing issues.
Mid-afternoon he had another lumbar puncture (his 5th so far, with 4 in the last 12 days) to remove the extra cerebrospinal fluid that is adding pressure on his brain. This time it was less than the previous two times, so this was good news. They also gave him the inter-thecal chemo inn his spine. I told Ollie there is a war in his brain between the chemotherapy warriors and the lymphoma villains and the warriors are winning so far, blasting the lymphoma out.
Neurology came by and said his EEG shows that he does not have epilepsy, but there is irregular activity in his brain and it is evident with his blindness that there is more to figure out.
Acute Pain Services added Melatonin to his orders to try to jeep him sleep better. Hoping that works tonight.
Dear friend, Toni came to bring me delicious dinner and all the news from St. George.
All in all a simple day (funny that a simple day now includes a lumbar puncture).
Glad to hear he's getting some sleep. Hope you can get some too! Sending virtual hugs.
