Chris walked around the floor today, took a shower:) and even watched TV (more like my Chris). Meg said that last night was very, very noisy due to a patient on the floor a couple of doors down from Chris that has a brain tumor. Not a lot of sleep going on. Lower CT scan showed that the spleen looked good (that's what they did scan for). He is off the heparin and is back to Lovenox. They are just trying to get rid of the pneumonia now. He is still in a lot of pain (no more pain in his throat). The pain is on the left side of his chest. Hurts when he breathes. Could be due to pneumonia or possibly cancer in his lung. The only way to know if the cancer is in his lung is to have a PET scan and Chris has told them he doesn't want one. "Doesn't care, he's going to die either way." He also decided that he isn't going to do the other chemo. He says that he is "ready to go," "tired of being in pain," "tired of this body," "ready to check out!!" I don't blame him I would want to go also. Pain ain't fun. My mom brought the kids up to the hospital so that we could read scriptures and say family prayer. Poor Chris slept through most of it:) My dad is spending the night with Chris tonight. Tomorrow will be easier for my mom - just Katie for most of the day. Pretty uneventful - Thank goodness:)
Love ya, Ricki
