3rd Night the Charm?

Sitting here at 5:45am watching the snow come down at Duke Hospital. 



Joe had a good night last night with fewer interruptions of his sleep.  We did go to sleep earlier however, 9:30pm, so that helped.   The snow is coming down really hard right now and just heard that DPS has cancelled classes today so Joe is busy texting Jill to make sure she knows so she can stay in bed!  No word yet of course as to whether or not Joe will be discharged today. 



Just getting him ready for radiology to arrive at 7am for his treatment.  Hopefully we will know something soon after shift change. 
6:50am - They came up from radiology for Joe's treatment and he left about 7am.  Now I'm just watching the news/weather and listening to the ice hitting the window.

Hoping our overnight crew (Kim & Lucie) are very careful on their way home this morning.  Take it slow ladies. There is a great group of nurses and staff here who have been wondeful to Joe. Thanks to Donna, Mark, Kim, Helen, Heather, Barb & Lucie - you have been great.  I've got my fingers crossed that today will be the day he comes home.
10:30am - Well apparently the whole "crossing fingers" thing is not what it's cracked up to be!  Joe is staying another night. The doctors (2 of 'em) are just not comfortable with sending him home since his fever has only been holding steady for a little over 12 hours.  However, Joe feels good and we went for a stroll around the 9th floor three times after the doctors left.  Hopefully only one more night of recliner sleeping.  On the positive side, we won't have to worry about the roads in the morning and getting him to his 7:30am radiation treatment!  Might as well look at the glass as being half full.
