Feb. 18

We slept in again this morning till 11 am. This dark and cold room does make it nice for sleeping. The physical therapist came in and tried to take her for a walk but she was in too much pain and nauscious so she waited until she got all of her medicines and came back after lunch. She helped her get up with a walker and took a short walk to some stairs. She showed her the best way to go up the stairs and down - and also told me what to do once we're home. By the time she got back to bed she was crying in pain again and very nauscious so the nurse gave her a second nausia medicine. She then slept the rest of the afternoon until 6:30. She even slept through the oncologists visit.

We decided to let Megan stay another night in the hospital, no reason to rush her out and she really didn't want to go home today while feeling so poorly. Her ears have really hurt her today too and says it's harder to hear. So the dr. said to have her get up and take a shower as soon as she is feeling better. She needs to be up as much as possible to get her body a little more back to normal. I have to make sure she has a good pair of sunglasses for the ride home because of the light. Keeping things dark really does help her.

Megan chatted with Kelsey, Dad and aunt Marie this evening for a bit and then took another small nap. She seemed to be feeling better so she asked to take a shower. The nurse offered her to go to the tub room and take a nice bath. She was super excited! There's even a TV in there and she thought she might turn it on. That would make the first time she turned on the TV in these 12 days in the hospital. :0) She says when she's done she's ready to take all of her medicines and give her some Benedryl to knock her out.

I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings...
