Today Charmaine has felt well. Got a blood transfushion of 2 units of blood. Also, today she started taking 2 Sprycell pills instead of just one. The Doctors wanted to graduate her up on the meds since they are so strong.
Her white blood count continues to drop but should start rising soon. They are planning on sending her home Monday for a few days of rest here before starting the 2nd round of chemo. We think she may be home for 8 or 9 days then go back for 5 days of chemo.
They wanted her to make 21 laps around the floor she is on in the morning and 21 more in the evening. She's been walking a lot today and is very tired.
Deana came and visted her this morning. Alecia came in the afternoon with Anthony and I joining later. We all ate pizza from Everybody's in the room.
She is alone tonite. Hope she sleeps soundly and rests well.
I miss her terribly bad here at home. Can hardly stand to leave her.
Thanks for caring.
Sam

What a beautiful picture of LOVE your family is during this trying time! Praying for Mrs. Charmaine . . .
ReplyDeleteSam - you are in our thoughts and prayers daily just as Charmaine is. Watching someone that you love suffer is an extremely difficult thing to do. We are so excited that Charmaine gets to come home for a while - it will be so wonderful to rest and have the peace and quiet of home. We love you both, christy
ReplyDeleteSam, just remember to take care of yourself, too. As Christywolf says, it is very hard to be the one watching. I know, because I was the one who helped Jim get through his surgery and radiation treatments, 37 of them,for his cancer back in 2001. It takes a huge toll on the whole family.
ReplyDeleteWe are keeping you and Charmaine in our thoughts as you go through this.

We are so excited for you both! We continually think of you and lift you up in our prayers. Sam, it's got to be tough watching your best friend and love go through all of this, but you and Charmaine are an inspiration to all of us! God will continue to be faithful in all things and in our weakness, He is strong!!! We love you guys!!!
