Sean came to visit for a bit before heading off to work this morning. She managed to get awake for his visit.

After he left, she also was able to get up and shower. I asked about hair loss before she showered and she said there hadn't been any symptom of that yet. Should've kept my mouth shut because when she was brushing out her hair after the shower, it came out in clumps. This is just starting so that will last a few days before it done I guess. The hair loss isn't a big deal to her at this point because she's had so much time to prepare for that symptom.

The "chicken pox" rash that has been on her chest has gotten a bit better. I saw the rash on her back for the first time today, assuming it has also gotten better, I'm really glad I hadn't seen it sooner.

Closing with the positive: she was able to drink some more juice even though it burns her mouth. And, best of all, she was able to take a walk around the ward. Only for a couple of minutes but it was reassuring to see her push to get the exercise.

We're waiting for the nurse to reattach the IVs now and she's resting comfortably even without the morphine.
