Thursday the 8th

Tia is still in a lot of pain.  We upped the morphine and benadryl so she has been sleeping a lot more - which is good as we just need to get through these days and let her white blood counts rise. Unfortunately, the WBC count is still negligible.

 

She has a slight fever and an elevated heart rate. So they did and EKG to be sure all was ok - it is.

 

Also her liver enzymes were elevated based on the last blood draws, so she is about to go have an ultrasound to make sure everything is OK. I will update the blog when we hear the results.

 

The goal is still to get her WBC up so she can harvest her stem cells next week so she can be home before the holidays.  Keep you fingers crossed!

 

thanks
