one day at a time


Day 1
Today you didn't look good tee, You started your treatment and was kinda out of it, you heard music in the walls. Songs that you and pottee used to dance too. You were emotional. We were with you for all the hours you had your treatment. It was hard to explain to you what was going on you were confused. But at least you knew you were out of it, you said you felt drunk but you liked pinot grigio. you were cracking jokes. your second dose went in faster this time. mommy and aunt marie left I stayed we were doing crossword puzzles i read the questions you answered and I wrote them in. All of a sudden you started to shake and kept saying you were getting cold. I felt your head and you were burning up I wrapped you in blankets around your shoulders over you and around your head. You kept asking why you were so cold all of a sudden, I tried to explain. Then you told me this was it and that you were leaving. I grabbed you and told you "NO! your not going anywhere, You stay right here with me" you calmed down, You scared me tee. I told the nurse and she stopped the treatment. You needed more steroids to control your side-effects and off you went again hallucinating and hearing music in the walls. after the steroids the treatment started up again. You tolerated the rest well and on we went with the crossword puzzles. I said goodbye and see you tomorrow

Day 2
I came before work to see how you were, You were hearing your music still and saying there was someone in the bed next to you who wanted to scratch your eyes out. No one was there tee. You ate lunch I had to help you but I still made you try to feed yourself. I said goodbye and see you tomorrow.
Day 3
I didn't have to go to work today, we came to visit you. You looked really good today, You admitted that the steroid was making you hallucinate and you knew there was no music. It was easier to have a conversation today you were making sense. You wanted to walk around. You looked so much better. hope you sleep well tonight. I said goodbye and see you tuesday
stay strong.
