Kirk stayed with her last night and he said that she had a good night. She only had a headache and she said that it was not too bad. Her second round of arsenic went well. They have switched up her meds again. One of the side effects of arsenic is making her heart beat irregular. They have put her on a heart monitor and are watching her to get her baseline so they can decide what is normal for her. She will not have arsenic today so they can get the base line.
She was just watching the tv and there was a commercial for medicine and she said don't I take that medicine. I told her it sounded familiar. She is on so many drugs it is hard to keep track of what she is on.
She has had a really good day. Dr. Pearl came in his Christmas attire. She is really starting to like him. Also, Santa and his helper came to visit her. Bryan and I brought homemade cinnamon rolls and chicken enchiladas. She gobbled up the cinnamon roll. We have not had the enchiladas yet.
Kirk left for awhile to do some laundry. His holiday was today so he didn't have to work. When he comes back we are going to eat the enchiladas and play some games. I hope everyone has a good Christmas Eve.

Hello Ward Family!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you are having a wonderful Christmas, despite being in the hospital. It looks like Alyssa has won the hearts of her nurses there and I bet she's getting special treatment! Those enchilada's sound so good-wow, what I'd give for enchiladas! I haven't seen those here in the Philippines. We were able to vist 4 different baptisms on Christmas Day. We saw 7 souls be baptized. It was really special. We're thinking of you and anxiously awaiting the news that they've gotten tired of you and kicked you out of the hospital. In the meantime, know that we're praying for you and can't wait to meet your cousin here in the Philippines Cauayan Mission.
