5/23

We had one day in a row of no vomiting. That is a win. Ethan is still feeling exhausted from his anemia. He had an injection last week to increase his red blood cell production and infusions of iron that will also help. It takes 7 days to make and mature red blood cells. My guess is that he will start feeling better by the end of the week.

The tongue is still hurting but looks like it is healing. Ethan is also battling a yeast infection in his mouth aka Thrush. Several times a day he does a magic mouthwash rinse, saltwater rinse and then his anti fungal rinse.

Tomorrow he gets his leads put on for his 24 hour EEG. That should be lovely. I am worried about when they take the leads off. In the hospital they left small sores without hair that were bleeding. Ethan is going to flip out over that. I am dreading Tuesday when they come off.

Today I was able to get Ethan up and outside for a short walk around the yard. The brightness bothers his eyes. We walked around the yard together and enjoyed nature. We sniffed the peonies and watched the frogs in the pond. There are so many this year.

Ethan and I also worked on getting his room cleaned up. He is happy with how it turned out.

It was a nice Sunday and we got a lot done around the house and Ethan had some good healing time. He spent the day eating and making red blood cells. Ha ha.
