Stability

Bryan seems to have stabilized at his current level. He has been removed from Oxygen and his O2 saturation is still good at 95% on room air. It had been below 90% when they started the oxygen. It’s a good thing, since the oxygen tube has rubbed against this ear and created a sore.

He had a slight fever at the start of the nursing shift at 7 pm but he was given a Tylenol to bring it down. I consider the fever a continuous good sign, as that is how the body naturally responds to an infection and a sign the Bryan’s body continues to fight the cancer cells.

He still favours his left side which seems unaffected. I find the clarity of his speech is improving each day. Being able to communicate your wants and needs are essential to preventing depression.
