Two weeks ago we were at home and had decided to go to hospital the following day. I was feeling a little more panicky when I saw him spiking a fever. It cleared up in no time but I told Marlon several times that if ever he wanted to leave sooner just let me know.
On Monday, I realized the previous day was 4 years to the day when Marlon went septic and I thought he died
( April 13, 2021 ).
No wonder I was more anxious than usual. Well ok, I was also concerned because he wasn't well.
He had visitors today. A friend of his, her two younger siblings and their dad. It was a good visit overall. The youngers, their dad and I walked around campus. He had been to school here back in the 90’s. That left Marlon time to just hang with his friend.
He was exhausted after the visit but so happy they brought him a 7 layer dip. That was his big request. I did go out last night and early this morning but had no luck finding it around here.
The first time in over a week that he ate his fill. Dip on sourdough bread. Every bite still hurts his stomach but he enjoyed the meal regardless. The painkillers he took also helped to ease the pain.
Now hopefully he sleeps tonight. The steroids and cravings do affect sleep.
His friend made several laminated cards just in case he doesn't feel like talking.
