Dear Friends & Family,
We did make it home at midnight Saturday. Morgan was wiped out and I'm sure she doesn't remember the ride home. By the time she recieved the fifth treatment on Friday, she was very sick. Most of the day on Saturday she tried to sleep but got sick to her stomach a few times which left her feeling hungry so she would try to eat again only to get it back. It's a vicious cycle when the doctors give you a drug that makes you hungry but also give chemo which tears up the stomach.
But, she is home now and improving. Yesterday she seemed to feel much better. Her energy level is coming back and her appetite is returning to normal. We even went for a ride around town yesterday evening. If she feels like it today, we may even get out again and do some grocery shopping.
She will have blood work done tomorrow and then again on Monday. The results from the blood work will tell us how far down her counts are going. Counts being her white blood, red blood, platelets and absolute neutrophils. These numbers will continue to drop after each treatment. One thing that could postpone the next treatment is if her platelets are below 75,000 or her absolute neutrophil count is below 500.
Thank you for all your prayers. We couldn't get through this without all the care and support.
