Not a lot of news today. Doug slept well last night and his O2 stayed in the mid-to upper-80s. In the morning, it increased to the low 90s and has remained there all day.
Around 9am, Dr V and the team came in and said to continue making him comfortable. The most recent blood test showed that the leukemia blast cells were increasing exponentially in the blood. It went from hundreds to 2,000 to 6,000. His platelets are also low.
Doug is receiving a small, continuous dose of morphine, which tends to make him sleepy. However, around 10am he woke up and was responsive, nodding yes or no to certain questions: Are you comfortable? Are you in pain? Do you want some Diet Coke? The important things. He has been in and out of sleep all day.
Proverbs 3:24 - "When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet."
