Good ’til the last drop

December 10th, 2008

Monday, December 8th

Today was IV day.  Kevin had regular physio run in the am and went for his treatment at 1:30…..they had a really hard time putting in the IV today….first time it bothered him.  It was only in for about 15 minutes and it began to swell and turn red….his hand was turning kind of blue.  Nancy, the head nurse, came in and immediately took out the IV and put it in the other hand…The doctor thinks he has phebitus…not exactly sure what that is but she wrote it down to show us as she couldn’t figure out how to say it.  Lots of heat and wet compresses for the day and through the night.  He said it hurt just for them to touch it. But, it was in until the last drop fell…….squeeze that bag…there must be another 100 bucks worth hiding in the corner!

I did a run to the RT Mart in the morning as Georgina and I are throwing a goodbye party for one another tomorrow night….. I’m on munchies…she’s on drinks and cake….

Andy, Georgina and Ella

I left with Jack at 3:30 to go pick up my order at the Silk Factory…..It takes so long to get through traffic here…also stopped by the Silk Market for a couple of thank you gifts for the nurses and off to Starbucks to do the hot chocolate run…..back through the traffic and home by 7:30…..four hours to do that…..drives me crazy….just a spoiled Islander, I know.  Jack’s a good driver…only 3 near misses tonight

 Many showed up at 7:30 for some laughs and meeting some new people in….Some are just starting to surface after being here for 3-4 days…jet lag aint’ pretty no matter which direction you travel.

Went to play with my girl for a while before bedtime…..:-)

Ella Bella!
