Today Mama's care "plan" changed again. The Seattle Cancer Care Alliance has instructed that she have no more hydration by IV. Evidently she could run the risk of being over hydrated. Her nausea meds are being switched to oral again. The port is to be used for nausea medication only if it gets out of control. Daddy will continue to give the antibiotics through her port. Her leg is looking so much better. It was a beautiful warm day today. Mama got to walk outside to see her flowers blooming. After her walk, she was exhausted. Her energy has been very low today. The Visiting nurse did a blood draw and sent the results to the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. This evening the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance called and wants Mama back up there early in the morning. Her red blood cells are very low. Their plan is to give her 2 units of blood and also hydration. (This whole hydration thing gets a little confusing.) Now it makes a little more since as to why Mama was so exhausted today. Please pray that her day up at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance will go smoothly.
I'll try to give an update as when we get back from Seattle tomorrow.
With love,
Carmen
She is beautiful. She is brave. She is loved.
