Well, Morgan has made it to night four of five. She is hanging in there. The redness on her face only appears during the Etoposide portion of the chemo. I am glad we solved that mystery. She feels terrible but that's what these drugs do. They are ugly but hopefully they will get the job done.
She is managing to keep all her food down and her appetite is good thanks to the Dexamethasone. It is one of the four anti-nausea drugs she takes but it is also a steroid. Her blood counts were good. I was worried that her platelets would be down already but they were still in the normal range.
She is ready to go home and I don't blame her. We are both looking forward to sleeping in our own bed!
Hi Morgan! Glad to hear you are surviving and smiling! We have been praying for you daily! It is not August--hope you are home! Please tell you Mom if she needs anything to call!!!
