Today is Saturday and I didn't come to the hospital early today like I usually do. I put in a little "retail therapy" first and it was great fun. I found a few small craft kits that Dani can do here in the hospital and she seems interested, but she is pretty uncomfortable. This stuff hurts! She did get her PCA last night so she gets to push the button and get morphine. It even makes a little electronic noise when she does. Her tongue and mouth are covered with a white, milky colored coating that is apparently sores and she says her mouth feels swollen inside. Ugh! I asked if she wanted me to take a picture of her white tongue, but she declined.
She doesn't have to swallow any more pills, they have put everything they can into IV form and liquids for the rest. Still lots of medicine and more of the final chemo drug in four days, and then we will see how that goes. Her blood counts are down and now we wait for them to start coming back up, but it will probably be another week before that happens.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures of the quilt, isn't it great! We are both enjoying the cards. Keep them coming. I brought in a "smiley face" balloon today. He has hair painted on the top of his head. It is several different colors, lime green, blue, purple, pink, and gold in stripes one side to the other. I did suggest that we could do that to Dani's hair and she seemed to like the idea. More picture opportunities! Dani had more platelets and red cells today. They are taking good care of our girl. This process is just taking a day at a time, no more news from UWMC.
Bye for now
MOM
