A Sandi Update

She was in good spirits when we saw her earlier today. This despite some of the issues that have been going  including the fact that they had to stop chemo for a day while they gave her a blood transfusion. Her anemia worsened Friday night so much of yesterday was spent with her sleeping while units of blood dripped into her.

At this hour they are giving her premeds which will also put her to sleep so that they can give her more chemo. The drug they will be putting into her takes 12 hours to drip in so it takes awhile. Then there is a multi hour gap while they wait for her to stabilize and then it is on to the next drug.

At this point the revised schedule indicates she will come home sometime Wednesday.

    Still sounds . . . not bad. Fingers still crossed.

    I think things are going as well as possible. I am concerned her blood numbers dropped so massively overnight yesterday forcing another transfusion already, but they swear it is nothing to be alarmed about. Considering she has had at least either 8 or 9 since July 5th it seems to me it might be an issue.
