Day three over!  Today was very similar to yesterday,  a couple of temperatures, the occasional rash and some getting sick.   Robyn did however complain of pain this morning  when medication was given into her IV.  Robyn’s nurse thought that this needed looking at by an IV nurse and so it was decided straight away that it should be changed.  Poor Robyn.  I hate this bit but imagine how she feels, so bloody painful but it has to be done…

 

She had slightly low blood pressure in the afternoon- this was rectified by giving a small amount of extra fluids in her line and pain hasn’t been a problem today.  If she complained of pain I reminded her to press the extra morphine button and this kept everything comfortable.  I am so frightened of her experiencing pain and I am so thankful when she has had a comfortable day.

 

It was Pauline birthday today.  I should imagine that she has never, in all her years,  had such an uneventful birthday and I did feel bad but Robyn and I are going to make it up to her next week.

 

Robyn had a very long sleep today.  I suppose the morphine (for the pain) and the benadryl (as an antihistamine ) make her very tired.  I prefer it when she sleeps and the time goes by and she isn’t dwelling on how ill she is feeling and of course in a selfish way, it’s easier for me to observe.

 

It was lovely to speak to my cousin Laura today -Skype is a Godsend to us at the moment.  Robyn wants to speak to Auntie Dee and Tara tomorrow please!
