Sleeping on the job
I can’t believe it. I finally went to bed after a long day pushing pills and protein, and realized I had forgotten to check in, hence the reason for the VERY late posting tonight (actually in the wee hours of the morning).
The house was on wheels today; Evan and Keren arrived, and soon after Marvin, Sharon and Rosanne appeared. We were 11 for dinner, and as Susie would say, it was freilach. These are some of Gilly’s favourite people, so I’d say Gilly had a great day on that score.
The weather was downright chilly (my favourite), so Evan built a fire and Gilly was drawn to it on several occasions, including late at night, after he took the Temodal. This surprised me in a way, but I know how much he loves to be with Evan, so it makes a lot of sense that he would be attracted to the flames.
On the whole, his appetite was poor all day (except breakfast; he helped himself to 3 pieces of grandma Shirley's French Toast). I was pleased to see him assist Evan in some repair work on the dock and show a genuine interest in spending time with his friends. This is an excellent sign on an emotional level. He finished the 5 day course of chemo this evening, so hopefully his energy level will improve day by day. I'm relieved that the 5 doses did not cause any nausea whatsoever (as far as he admitted to anyway).
Now it’s really time for bed, so I bid you all goodnight. My sincere apologies to anyone waiting up for this report.
