Whelp - the THC hit hard today (Saturday 3/19). Not that he hates this feeling, maybe reminding him of some college experiences, but he wants to be able to function. He wants to be able to cut up and talk to family, friends, and mess with the nurses. But he is currently glued to the bed and unable to keep his eyes open. HA!
The Palliative Care Nurse came in, Shamekia, and we spoke about dosage. She wants him to try one more day on this dose since yesterday was such a good day. She is thinking that since he didn't sleep well last night (silly boy fought it and stayed up playing Yatzee until 2am! then woke up at 7am) that the effects of the THC are magnifying his exhaustion. If tomorrow is the same, they will lower his dose from 10mg in the morning to 5mg and keep his evening dose at 10mg.
He is still eating well and we were actually able to snuggle in bed without him feeling like the walls were caving in on him. This is the first time in so long. I was beginning to feel less like a wife and more like an employed nurse.
Thanks for the updates!It really means a lot to us! The gap in February had me worried to pieces! We think about G from GP daily, people are always stopping by my desk to ask about him. Tell him we pray, we miss him terribly-Nedra from Nissan
