Linda had a good day today (best since she went in 10 days ago). She was able to sit up for an hour as we played Scrabble on my iPad.
The WBC is normal, but the platelets are still very low (20,000) vs a normal of 150,000 - 400,000. They should recover as the bone marrow recovers. However, the next chemo course will have to be delayed until the platelets are normal (3-5 days).
She is eating some - fruit, applesauce, yogurt etc but her appetitie is still poor.
She may get home on Tuesday while she waits for the platelets to recover, but this will be a nursing challenge for us.
Thanks for the comments. Obviously everyone was blog challenged!
Keep up the prayers. IT HELPS immensely.
Dear Linda ,
ReplyDeleteWhat a ride. I hope you are able to go home for even a little bit and regroup.
I think about you often-
Deb.
Sandy Williams just called me to see how you were doing. I hadn't checked today and so I gave her the information as of June 3. I'm glad you are able to eat something now and hope your appetite steadily improves. We all miss you and are looking forward to seeing you soon. God is with you. Love Alberta

We have returned from Canada and have been thinking of you and so glad to be able to catch up on the blog. I hope you are home in your own bed and recovering some appetite! I will be happy to come over and help with "nursing nightmare" - will check with you all tomorrow. Love and Prayers, Liz and Rick
