We almost thought Nolan wouldn't get his chemo yesterday because his blood pressure shot up really high and we had a tough time getting it back down to normal. After getting some extra norvasc and some loratab for pain it improved a lot! After a 5 week delay Nolan finally received his IV chemo :-) He has thankfully been able to continue the oral chemo (temodar) with no problems.
Today Nolan was able to get through the whole day with only one dose of tylenol! That is a really big difference from before. He's still really sleepy, I think his body is still extremely exhausted from all the pain. I just couldn't even imagine....
We were able to get Nolan out of the house for a little bit today and took him to Noah's Ark (a small zoo near our house) to have a picnic and see some Monkey's. Nolan loves Monkey's :-)
I would say he was able to sit up for about 45 minutes with no problems and he had a good time but slept the rest of the day. I'm so ready to see him at 100%
As of right now I feel like I'm holding my breath...
If he continues to show improvement tomorrow I will feel the neurontin is helping.
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
