Night Three......
Well I must say that today has been the worst day so far for me. The doctors turned the epideral off today at 8am. They started that oral medicine I was telling you about. " YUCK" does not even describe the awful taste. I am taking 4 by mouth and 2 intravenously. I can not go home until I stop taking the intravenous ones. My legs keep having muscle spasm and that makes me go through the roof with pain!!!!!!! The nurses and doctors have all been very nice. The best nurse , by far , has been Mrs. Carter. She is a friend of ours from Cheshire and she is the nurse manager on my floor. She hooked us up with the private room and .........guess what? She let my sister Sarah come to see me tonight (even though she is not really old enough). Josh came too, of course, and that was the best thing that happend today. I also got a chance to talk with Mr. Kaplan. He called me on the telephone. Thanks for that I enjoyed talking to you today. You happend to call at an okay time. I have a few good minutes and some really painful ones too, so if you've tried calling and I could'nt talk today, I'm so sorry. I want to talk to all my friends but I am not always ready. I hope for a better day tomorrow, because that is all I can do. Bye for now. Brenden

Brenden hang in there buddy it will get better soon. I am sure that today will be better. Once the Dr can figure out the correct mixture of stuff you will be doing fine.
ReplyDeleteYou are a real trooper!
Love Uncle Chris
Hey Brenden!! Sorry you had such an up and down day yesderday. I know that's tough!! Especially the muscle spasms. You just want to tell your legs to stop it, right? Hang in there though, you're doing great. You're right, tomorrow is always a better day :-)
ReplyDeleteStill thinking about you all day.

Hi Brenden! We are all thinking of you up here in New Hampshire. We are so proud of you & we just know you will be feeling better quickly. Did you hear the Red Sox signed pitcher John Smoltz? Also they signed Rocco Baldelli. Both are great guys, just like you!
ReplyDeleteHang in there. Jason keeps asking when we can see you, Josh & Sarah. He remembers having lots of fun with you 3! Keep smiling. We love you!
Love Jen, Kim, Jason & Amanda
Hey Brenden! Sorry the rest of your classmates didn't write you a message today. We were planning doing it but had a fire scare at school. Everything was fine, but the fire trucks had to come because someone over cooked their food which started smoking. I'm sure you'll hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you here and are always asking "I wonder how Brenden is feeling now".
I know you are not feeling your best, but you will start feeling better soon. Hang in there kiddo!
