Chemo day 2 – Busulfan.

So far, so good. Jordan had an exercise bike added to her room today. She rode on it a little bit last night and did 2 miles on it this morning. The staff tells us that they have seen patients recover quicker if they are active and eating/drinking. They don’t want her laying in bed all day, doing nothing. She is determined to have a quick recovery, so she’s trying to get into good habits early.

The IV team came tonight and replaced her dressing and caps on the Broviac. This has to happen every 7 days as normal routine, but if the dressing comes off, gets wet, etc, it will be replaced sooner than 7 days. The nurse didn’t have the best bedside manner. The IV Team, does just that, places IV’s, changes dressings, etc. The nurses here do not do them, unless an IV Team member cannot be reached quick enough.
