U of C Day 24 - Nebulizer

To date, the only experience we've had with a nebulizer is with the girls and their asthma. The treatments that Leo started last night to help his cough require that he be on a nebulizer for 2 hours, 3 times a day. Based on his treatments last night and today, he says it makes his nose and throat feel like they're frozen and when he took it off, there was some sort of white residue on his nose. But the good news is that it seems as though the treatments are helping, as his cough isn't as frequent and he is coughing up less. So let's hope he keeps getting better.

Leo was moved back to the oncology unit last night, which is good, as the nurses are better and more attentive. He's on the non-isolation side just because of the type of room he needs, but doesn't mean we don't have to take the same precautions. All visitors still need to wear a mask, can't be sick and cannot be females of child bearing age. Thanks again to anyone that can stop by to visit, as Leo really appreciates the company.

My thanks to Charles, Arvin, mom, dad and Tita Nena for coming by to visit Leo today. I feel really badly that I cannot be there with him though this difficult time, but am so glad that Leo's got wonderful family and friends to help him out. Thank you guys!
