A Little Better
Sherry is still fighting nausea, with the help of medicines and rest.
They took her off the liquid diet, so meals are a little interesting now.
Her fever is gone, and her white blood cell counts are climbing, but still low.
She also got a shot to increase red blood cell production. She asked for Tylenol tonight because of the bone aches it causes.
There was some mention of an infection in her Central Line. We hope they don't need to remove it, but she hasn't been able to ask a doctor about it yet. It was painful and scary to have it installed, and she just got the stitches out this week. Another one would need to be installed before chemotherapy could resume, so we don't want to lose it without good cause.
She's still weak, but gradually improving. We continue to hope for her to be released Monday.
