After a busy day – there were many visitors and I also talked to the psycho-oncologist and the social worker yesterday – I spent a second successive night in Nadine’s hospital room. A night that went way better than the last one: her breathing was almost back to normal and she slept through without moaning.

She is still slow, weak, uncoordinated and unable to stand, but she is eating tiny portions of food again. This morning, I managed to feed her half of the yoghurt which was on her menue for breakfast. Around noon she will receive her second dose of MTX. I guess all of this together can be interpreted as a small step away from imminent disaster.
