Charmaine has enjoyed being at home more than you could imagine. She feels very tired. Just can't regain her energy and has no appetite. Feels OK just tired.
Friday am we go back to Emory Clinic for lab work on blood and a Dr. visit. She may have to have a blood transfusion while we are there. That may be why she is so tired if the red blood count has fallen again. It is normal for that to happen.
The Dr at Emory stopped our dentist visit. He said absolutely not unless she had a bad tooth ache so we cancelled.
She has slept quite well here at home but is developing that nagging cough again. Cough meds help.
She has started to have 2 shots per day here for blood thinning because of the blood clot in her lung. She gives them to herself. Has to give them in the tummy just below the naval.
Will update later on the results of the Dr. visit.

Visit to the clinic went well. All results on lab test today were pleasing to the Dr. Good news is that we do not go back till next Friday May 8th to lab for workup. This means she will home for Mother's Day next Sunday. As her blood counts continue to rise she should be stronger everyday. She did not have to have a transfusion today.
I would guess they will have us check in on Monday May 11th for 3rd round of chemo. They really like to start the rounds on Monday's if possible.
She was able to eat an entire BBQ sandwich from Wallace BBQ today for lunch.

Great report Sam! I know you are glad to have her home.We love you both!!
ReplyDeleteIm so happy for you all that she is home for a short time and for Mother's Day , you all are so lucky that she is your mom. She is one inspiring ladie and she will get through this just fine. I have been trying to read the blog daily now. I did not find out the news of Charmaine being sick until a few weeks ago. You all are in my prayers.
