in Head and Neck Cancer #1

I had a wonderful nights sleep last night and so did Jim. I had my grandson move the spare bedroom bed into the livingroom a couple weeks ago so I could sleep next to Jim in the hospital bed. Last night I put him in that bed with me to see if I could hear him get up better. He slept through the night and only awoke long enough to use the urinal which means I got to sleep too.

Jim has developed bed sores on his bottom but he wouldn't sleep on his side in the hospital bed. In the regular bed he sleeps on his side a lot. He also did not toss and turn as much.

Thanks for the prayers they work.

Debbie

    Sleep

    Great news to hear.  Hoping it continues for both of you.  You know no bed is as comfortable as our own bed and sleeping next to our loved ones is a great comfort especially when you have done it for years and years.

    Wishing you both peace and comfort -- Sharon
