22nd March - So Far

Our "little girl" had an uneventful night and was well rested this morning. No pain, no morphine, and a chance to take a real shower means Rene is happy.

Medical Front Stuff

• Her liver is almost back to normal; her bilirubin is now down to 2.5, this a great thing!
• The tumors are shrinking which means the chemo is working on her
• She will get out of the hospital either on Friday or Saturday and they will perform outpatient chemo treatment next week
• This must occur until she goes into round two which we anticipate to be the week of April 9th (great birthday gift for me...NOT!)
• With any good chemo treatment, her hemoglobins are becoming anemic which is expected and therefore they will monitor and address
• The Cytoxan and Prednisone are her current cocktails with this round of chemo and I have found a new resource called ChemoCare for the various meds
