Yesterday Charmaine had a pretty good day. Little nausea and diarrhea. The spinal tap was postponed because her platelet count was too low.
She slept last night till 4:30 am and had a minor nose bleed. They gave a platelet transfusion.
Is getting another platelet transfusion right now.
Waiting for Dr to come in now to do spinal tap. She dreads this because of the possible terrible headaches that happens sometimes. Pray that she won't have one. The last one had no headaches at all.
Her white count is slowly rising back up.
Now they are allowing her to go outside once a day for a few minutes. This seems to help her spirits some.
The amazing thing about this is how she can be doing fine on minute and something change instantly. That's the way it will be until this is all over.
Maybe mid week next week we can come home again.
More later.
Afternoon update 3 pm. Spinal tap is done finally. The anticipation of having it is very taxing on her. It has very little pain but scares her. Now she must lay flat and still for one hour. Now she sleeps.
Has had a good day so far.
6pm............got to go outside for a quick walk. Helps just for a few minutes. Right now she is very tired and very nauseated. The Sprycell in tandem with the chemo just does her in. Have given the normal anti nausea meds.
White blood count down to 300.
When she has to have the adavan before the spinal tap it takes a toll on her mentally and emotionally. Having a tough time this time staying here. Having separation anxiety when I leave.
More tomorrow. Stefanie is with her overnight.
