Kevin is progressing better than expected. He has been given a tentative date of 3-26 for release. His energy and strength are returning. He is down to one dressing change per day and the site of the wound is much better. I am usually there when the dressing is changed. He is still in pain but only gets pain medication during the wound change. He can have oral pain medicine but does not usually use it. He is going to the dining room for lunch and dinner. It is very nice to get out of the room. Occupational therapy is suppose to start working with him on getting his contacts in today. We will know more about the chemo treatments once he is released. His spirits are good and he is not sleeping all of the time. I am doing some laundry today to take back to him this evening. Being able to wear his own clothes has made a huge difference. He is more comfortable than the open back gowns. He is getting into the bathroom to brush his teeth and shave now in the wheelchair.
