Journal entry by Maryanne Labeaume —
Nurse Jennifer was here today. Today was catheter change and port flush day. All went well with both. Vitals were great. The only thing I can think of this week that may be a little different for Ken is he seemed to have more appetite. But when the nurse asks him what he ate right before she gets here, he can never remember what he just had. When she left today, Ken asked if that was Jennifer. I was happy he remembered who she was, but then he asked who I was. I think he was kidding, but I'm not really sure.
Sat. I did get him up and into his recliner while the Hicks kids were here. He managed to stay awake most of the time they were here. Angie even said he talked a lot while Layla and I were in the pool. I think he asked her what she had for breakfast several times.
I did have to put a bolt back on the "new" rolling table today. Nurse Jennifer asked if I wanted yet another one sent out. With this being the 3rd one and the best one so far, I figure I'll keep it for now. With my luck, they would replace it with one of the previous 2.
As for the rest of the week---not a whole lot happened---to us. But it wasn't a good week for the LaBeaume clan. One of our nieces is in the hospital from a ruptured appendix and one of Ken's brothers is in the hospital with a heart attack and ?? So we could use lots of prayers all around!
