A good night's sleep

Alan slept much better last night, just waking up shortly after his blood draw and vitals. After a breakfast of yogurt and pancakes, Alan checked out the view from his room, did some drawing, and watched Ultimate Pandas. His teeth were bothering him, so he had another ice pop. After a walk around the floor, where he "helped" the nurses with the water again and got some yummy cookies. He was pretty tired this afternoon, but couldn't fall asleep. It will be nice when the teeth come in and he can get back onto his nap schedule.

The chemo finished late this evening, and Alan is on post-hydration fluids now. At midnight, he goes NPO so he can get an MRI in the morning with anesthesia. With his dropping red counts, Doc A would also like him to get a blood transfusion after the MRI before we leave the hospital.
