Well, today was not the best day. Mom was pretty weak and things just did not seem to go our way. We got to the clinic at 8am for blood work and by 11am still did not have much information. Mom needed a platelet transfusion before they could administer the chemo, then she had the chemo and then she had to have more transfusion. It was a long day and we finally busted out of there around 4pm.
The numbers from her blood work were pretty much what we expected. It seems so much has been put into this but it's becoming more clear that there's a lot more hard work that needs to be done. Mom's goal is to get off of the walker and be able to start being more self sufficient. This is going to be really critical when it comes time to do the Bone Marrow Transplant.
When we got back to the room I had to hook Mom right back up to our IV pole in here and get her going on her antibiotics. I made some homemade chicken noodle soup on our little hot plate. Mom's got all of her pills down and is ready to turn in to bed early after this not so special day. We are both looking forward to a good night's sleep. We hope you all have one as well.
Love,
Amy
